It's meaning and importance probably would have been lost on me then, though. In any event, enjoy.<br />*******************************************<br /><br />THE END OF FEAR<br /><br />Though the whole heaven be one-eyed with the moon,<br /> Though the dead landscape seem a thing possessed,<br /> Yet I go singing through that land oppressed<br />As one that singeth through the flowers of June.<br /><br />No more, with forest-fingers crawling free<br /> O'er dark flint wall that seems a wall of eyes,<br /> Shall evil break my soul with mysteries<br />Of some world-poison maddening bush and tree.<br /><br />No more shall leering ghosts of pimp and king<br /> With bloody secrets veiled before me stand.<br /> Last night I held all evil in my hand<br />Closed: and behold it was a little thing.<br /><br />I broke the infernal gates and looked on him<br /> Who fronts the strong creation with a curse;<br /> Even the god of a lost universe,<br />Smiling above his hideous cherubim.<br /><br />And pierced far down in his soul's crypt unriven<br /> The last black crooked sympathy and shame,<br /> And hailed him with that ringing rainbow name<br />Erased upon the oldest book in heaven.<br /><br />Like emptied idiot masks, sin's loves and wars<br /> Stare at me now: for in the night I broke<br /> The bubble of a great world's jest, and woke<br />Laughing with laughter such as shakes the stars.<br /><br /><br />Annie Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415548089882625246noreply@blogger.com
