G.K. Chesterton Quotes

The Donkey
When Fishes Flew And Forests Walked
And Figs Grew Upon Thorn,
Some Moment When The Moon Was Blood
Then Surely I Was Born.
With Monstrous Head And Sickening Cry
And Ears Like Errant Wings,
The Devil's Walking Parody
On All Four-footed Things.
The Tattered Outlaw Of The Earth,
Of Ancient Crooked Will;
Starve, Scourge, Deride Me: I Am Dumb,
I Keep My Secret Still.
Fools! For I Also Had My Hour;
One Far Fierce Hour And Sweet:
There Was A Shout About My Ears,
And Palms Before My Feet.
