The rock and the stone
Arrested their silence,
Flesh unto dry bone.
No Moses--themselves struck
Themselves with violence,
From the clay and the muck.
Oh inanimate element,
Of boulder of dust,
Confined conglomerate
Broke ye dumb trust!
Explode ye through chest
of iron! Ye poured forth
in a watery address.
We cried out, an explosion,
Ejaculate exclaimate;
Shameless, but of utter compulsion.
"Oh liveliest angel
Not of spirit, of dust;
Oh light of all angles
Oh diamond," our must.
