Seven days it continued; all which time, the Temple was as clear and light in the night as it had been noonday. In the Sanctum Sanctorum was heard clashing and hewing of armour, while flocks of ravens, with a fearful croaking cry, beat, fluttered and clashed against the windows. A hideous dismal owl, exceeding all her kind in deformity and quantity, in the Temple-porch built her nest.

I only thought of seeing a battle-field of bottles, but I found the Eleusinian mysteries. In the temple-porch of Eleusis was fixed a large pale face, in the middle parts of which a red nose was glowing like a fuse.
