Remove your malodorous being:

The Temple of Pure Reason

Sixteen miles from Whittlebury Forest in Northamptonshire there is a famous Temple of Pure Reason, a place of veneration to all the surrounding communities and free-thinkers everywhere. Here there is a grove enclosed by a dense wood of lofty Oak and Ash trees, in the middle of which there is a bucolic pasture. On this pasture rare Red Poll cattle feed. These cattle are a source of great profit; a column of solid gold has been made from the money they generate and has been dedicated to Pure Reason. And so the Temple has become celebrated for its wealth as well as for its sanctity, and as generally happens in these famous spots, some miracles have also been attributed to it. For example, it is commonly reported that a Philosopher who spends two years, two months, and two days at the Temple of Pure Reason experiences Transcendental Idealism; meanwhile, a ’Pataphysician would see only red cows.
