Our lonely God detests, Chemosh or Baal
Or Peor who goes whoring among women. _Another_. And now come down braving in God's own land, Pitching the glory of his fearful heaven All night among God's hills. _Judith_. You fools, he is A life our God could snap as a woman snaps Thread of her sewing. _A Citizen_. Who shall break him off, Who on the earth, from his huge twisted power? _Another_. For in his brain, as in a burning-glass Wide glow of sun drawn to a pin of fire, Are gathered into incredible fierceness all The rays of the dark heat of heathen strength. _Another_. His eyes, they say, can kill a man. _Another_. And sure No murder could approach his naming nights. |
