And a vision appeared to the Poet in the night
The vision of The Holy Spirit in the wild wood:
‘By one thing only
By nuclear weapon alone
Sin enters the world
And death by sin
Who shall deliver us from this death?
Lord raised up Savior from the dead
You too won’t die
As His Spirit dwells in you.
Beware of the nightmare leading nowhere
And bigot’s extremism claws:
O what delight, as consecrated rose worships the altar,
Inner chapel and sanctuary:
Angels and heaven smile.
This Ultimate Reality
(Symbol of the greatest and noblest,
Mankind has striven for
Generation after generation)
Reborn as Christ
Reveals His creative fecundity
Infinite manifestations.
Our perfection
Our ripe blooming
Our sunlight and singing
Our reconciling dry philosophy
With light of Love
And this alone is our true sovereign.
By this knowledge alone
The timeless is united with time:
Liberation from the human wheel
Otherwise our disaster is irremediable:
Satanic spell will work
New weapons develop
New violence within States.
The only battle worth fighting is Peace
The spirit will defeat the canonshots
This is the reverend aisle of a true temple
Never forget the admonitions
I insist
Self-sacrifice is regeneration
And the moment of birth_
Living among charlatans, poseurs, terrorists
Doing acts of love and charity
Sorting out diamonds among the dross.”
