Lazy god?

I do not know much about gods; but I think that the river
Is a strong brown god—sullen, untamed and intractable,
Patient to some degree, at first recognised as a frontier;

T.S. Eliot. The Dry Salvages

Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be; October 13, 2005 3:26 pm

Say, weren't you born right by the strong brown god? In a little tent? And just like that strong brown, patient god, haven't you been running ever since?

That may be so, but I'm telling you: a change is gonna come.

Or, as T.S. Eliot once said:

I said to my soul, be still, and let the dark come upon you
Which shall be the darkness of God. As, in a theatre, when it's been a long time a-comin', but I know, that
the lights are extinguished, 'cause a change is gonna come, oh yes it will.
With a hollow rumble of wings, with a movement of darkness on darkness,
And we know that the hills and the trees, the distant panorama
And the bold imposing facade are all being rolled away; October 13, 2005 3:33 pm

Saa drog de over i Vogne og Sko,
Tiggere, Trækkere, Kræmmere, Friere,
alle de tusinde Somres Forbiere,
stejlende Plage som skejtende Ko,
alt drog nu over den dumrende Bro.; October 17, 2005 1:57 am
