Out of dung and horns<br> Dropped in the mire he made a monstrous God,<br> Abhorrent, shapeless, crowned with plantain tufts,<br> And when the cattle lowed at twilight-time,<br> He dreamed it was the clamour of lost crowds,<br> And howled among the beasts: &quot;~Thus Gods are made,<br> And whoso makes them otherwise shall die.~&quot;<br> Thereat the cattle bellowed. . . . Then he died.<br> <br>Yet at the last he came to Paradise,<br>And found his own four Gods, and that he wrote;<br>And marvelled, being very near to God,<br>What oaf on earth had made his toil God's law,<br>Till God said mocking: &quot;Mock not. These be thine.&quot;<br>Then cried Evarra: &quot;I have sinned!&quot; -- &quot;Not so.<br>If thou hadst written otherwise, thy Gods<br>Had rested in the mountain and the mine,<br>And I were poorer by four wondrous Gods,<br>And thy more wondrous law, Evarra. Thine,<br>Servant of shouting crowds and lowing kine.&quot;<br>Thereat, with laughing mouth, but tear-wet eyes,<br>Evarra cast his Gods from Paradise.<br> <br>~This is the story of Evarra -- man --<br>Maker of Gods in lands beyond the sea.~</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Rudyard+Kipling">Rudyard Kipling</a><div class=q>
