Christopher John Brennan Quotes

Fire
Fire In The Heavens

Fire In The Heavens, And Fire Along The Hills,
and Fire Made Solid In The Flinty Stone,
thick-mass'd Or Scatter'd Pebble, Fire That Fills
the Breathless Hour That Lives In Fire Alone.

This Valley, Long Ago The Patient Bed
of Floods That Carv'd Its Antient Amplitude,
in Stillness Of The Egyptian Crypt Outspread,
endures To Drown In Noon-day's Tyrant Mood.

Behind The Veil Of Burning Silence Bound,
vast Life's Innumerous Busy Littleness
is Hush'd In Vague-conjectured Blur Of Sound
that Dulls The Brain With Slumbrous Weight, Unless

some Dazzling Puncture Let The Stridence Throng
in The Cicada's Torture-point Of Song.
