"be my kin free fro carnal sin

Bride the thoughts of master."

"there hath past away a glore fro the earth;

A glore that in the hearts and minds of men

Men demented - blindfolded by light

Hourisheth as weed in their well-groom'd garihs."

"might i too was blindfolded ere

Tho' years have master'd me

A masque of this to fashion:

Seer blest thou best philosopher!"

"tis the divine comedy -

The fool and the mocking court:

Fool kneel now and ring thy bells!:

We hold the earth to heaven away."

"the quality of mercy and absolution

Whence cometh such qualities?

Build thyself a mirror in which

Solely wanton images of thy desire appear!"

"tis is divine tragedy -

The fool and the rocking court:

Fool kneel now and ring thy bells!:

Make us guffaw at thy futile follies

Yet for our blunders - oh in shame;

Earth beareth no balm for mistakes -

We hold the earth to hell away."

- that cross you wear around your neck;

Is it only a decoration or are you a true christian believer?

- yes i believe - truly

- then i want you to remove it at once!

And never to wear it within this castle again!

Do you know how a falcon is trained my dear?

Her eyes are sown shut. blinded temporarily

She suffers the whims of her god patiently

Until her will is submerged and she learns to serve -

As your god taught and blinded you with crosses.

- you had me take off my cross because it offended...

- it offended no-one. no - it simply appears

To me to be discourteous to... to wear

The symbol of a deity long dead.

My ancestors tried to find it. and to open

The door that separates us from our creator.

- but you need no doors to find god. if you believe...

- believe?! if you believe you are gullible.

Can you look around this world and believe

In the goodness of a god who rules it?

Famine pestilence war disease and death!

They rule this world.

- there is also love and life and hope.

- very little hope i assure you. no.

If a god of love and life ever did exist...

He is long since dead.

Someone... something rules in his place.

"believe? in a deity long dead? -

I would rather be a pagan suckled in creeds outworn;

With faartytales fill'd up in head:

Thoughts of the book stillborn."

"shadow of annoyance -

Ne'er come hither

...and then he falleth

He falleth like lucifer

Ne'er to ascend again..."
