"Ode to Fear" is a 1746 poem by William Collins in which he glorifies fear as though it were the better part of imagination. It can be regarded as a piece of Gothic theory.
O thou whose spirit most possessed,
The sacred seat of Shakespeare’s breast!
By all that from thy prophet broke
In thy divine emotions spoke:
Hither again thy fury deal,
Teach me but once, like him, to feel;
His cypress wreath my meed decree,
And I, O Fear, will dwell with thee!
