The Little World
"None of the answers of my pious preceptors would satisfy me, and my demands that they cease taking things for granted quite upset them. Close reasoning was something new in their little world of Semitic mythology." - H. P. Lovecraft
Read to me the lesson
and I'll memorise the words,
sing to me the standard songs
and I'll recall the tune...
The stories told
time and time again
create a world
as wholly and as magically
as when the eternal hands crafted
sea, and sky, and soil.
The Book is a door
and the Word is a candle
lighting the dark room beyond.
When I am close to Thee,
then I am close to a place
where light charges the bones.
So read to me the lesson
and I'll memorise the words,
sing to me the standard songs
and I'll recall the tune...
