СКАЧАТЬ more, for the covers of darkness have shut upon

      Its written pages, and sky and earth and all between are closed in one.

      And we are smothered between the darkness, we close our eyes and say “Hush!” we try

      To escape in sleep the terror of this immense deep darkness, and we lie

      Wrapped up for sleep. And then, dear God, from out of the twofold darkness, red

      As if from the womb the moon arises, as if the twin-walled darkness had bled

      In one great spasm of birth and given us this new, red moon-rise

      Which lies on the knees of the darkness bloody, and makes us hide our eyes.

      The train beats frantic in haste, and struggles away

      From this ruddy terror of birth that has slid down

      From out of the loins of night to flame our way

      With fear; but God, I am glad, so glad that I drown

My terror with joy of confirmation, for now [p. xxvii]

      Lies God all red before me, and I am glad,

      As the Magi were when they saw the rosy brow

      Of the Infant bless their constant folly which had

      Brought them thither to God: for now I know

      That the Womb is a great red passion whence rises all

      The shapeliness that decks us here-below:

      Yea like the fire that boils within this ball

      Of earth, and quickens all herself with flowers,

      God burns within the stiffened clay of us;

      And every flash of thought that we and ours

      Send up to heaven, and every movement, does

      Fly like a spark from this God-fire of passion;

      And pain of birth, and joy of the begetting,

      And sweat of labour, and the meanest fashion

      Of fretting or of gladness, but the jetting

      Of a trail of the great fire against the sky

      Where we can see it, a jet from the innermost fire:

      And even in the watery shells that lie

      Alive within the cozy under-mire,

      A grain of this same fire I can descry.
