Enlightement Quotes & Sayings

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,

I keep my secret still.

One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet. — G.K. Chesterton
