I SAW A THOUGHT BY VIRGINIA MOORE
I
I shall not fear the face of God, Volcanic though it be, And most magnificently odd; I shall but lean against a star
And grasp at rails where meteors are,
Being a little overwrought? But not from God, nor hell, nor heaven,
For what are these to me riven
By the sight of one man's thought?
II
I saw a thought rise in a man
And spill out through his eyes, I saw the spring where it began,
The tributaries where it ran, The rocks it ate, the rills it drank, Before its own imperative size
Had burst a hard cerebral bank Into a mouth, grown wise.
