Ekua At Esagila
Thou hast seen many cities and had
intercourse with many peoples. Sabian
pilgrimage to the moon temple at
Haran. Warblers traveling by night.
The gift of Demeter is the reason why
men do not live like wild beasts. Tame
snakes in the houses of Egypt. Third
protector of the house. The Mithraic
spirit of grace. As Mithras to Phaethon.
As Cain to Set. Pansophia, or Irene.
Henotheism — one god at a time. Grossbeaks
and milliners. Objects of the mystic aviary.
Sedecla, the Witch of Endor. Smaragos,
the demon who causes pots to crack
in the kiln. Panpsychism — a mind in
the world of minds. The four-score names
of honey, the two hundred of a serpent, the
five hundred of a lion, the thousand of a
sword. He entered the cave, determined
to treat the darkness kindly.
