[45] I heard his laughter as he passed along, I heard the mortal boast immortal breath ; I saw the earth in tragic irony, Plunge to its death.
Then low into Jehovah s listening ear I spoke : " O God of Gods, the life you gave Is but a lying travesty, whose lie Ends in the grave.
"Look on the lives that you have made and marred, Filing gray phantoms in a hapless train: The stronger finds your heaven; the weaker finds An endless pain.
" O God, within the hollow of whose hand A million worlds are ...tossed to win or lose, You choose the stronger for salvation, but The damned I choose.
" I take my stand upon the weaker side, I grasp the sinner s hand, I share his fate; The hell of those who failed, I choose, or those Who win too late. " [46] God smiled: across the inky ether way, A flash that lighted worlds supernal fell. It is the damned you look upon, " God said: "The earth is hell. " [47] DEATH-IN-LIFE When the blasts beat loud and the tempests shriek, And the winds are smote as the chords of a lyre, I curtain the cold where the corners leak, Tossing the logs till the flames leap higher, As I sit on the hearth while the rafters creak, Feeding the fangs of the hungry fire.
