The Return of the Repressed

 

Antigravity is
the return of the repressed
in an age of materialism:
"It will flame out," will flame out.

In spite of the heavy spirit
of the age in which we find ourselves,
Antigravity isn't particularly
shy about manifesting itself.
Strike a match,
you will see the heat rise.

Remember:
The power of Antigravity dwells
in your heart and mind like
fire dwells in a match.
All you must do
is strike it,
and the dark
chill of an impersonal
world will be driven far away.

Remember also:
Once you have kindled
this fire, you must be quick
to share it with others,
lest the flame die while
still being born.

Fire from Heaven

Lines from "God's Grandeur"
by Gerard Manley Hopkins

The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil . . .
Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil . . .

And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
