Intro

O full-orb'd moon, did but thy rays

Their last upon mine anguish gaze!

Beside this desk, at dead of night,

Oft have I watched to hail thy light:

Then, pensive friend! o'er book and scroll,

With soothing power, thy radiance stole!

In thy dear light, ah, might I climb,

Freely, some mountain height sublime,

Round mountain caves with spirits ride,

In thy mild haze o'er meadows glide,

And, purged from knowledge-fumes, renew

My spirit, in thy healing dew!

Goethe: Faust I.

Nimrod's Children (almost a palindrome, except more convenient and rearranged)



Once stuck in a song, this hunter's once young, sharp tongue,
Polygluttony, of the touring variety,
Invoked a curse where he was sent babbling
From of the word of worlds, also note well:
From of the worlds of words, and
Douglas Adams made a joke about it.

A royaume ululation, but without relief,
The ceasing and the Inscendental, foreverish.
May as well go live in a cave or pretend
Life as Sophocles plays, and fuck it.
Your mom, Your fucking mom.
This joke has fallen upon my old ears.
