not tomorrow came
that his eye seize all
that his iron freeze our soul
that his sashes cling our waste
that his levy tax the yawl
that his barrel bruise the mast
that his slashes bat the pall
that his eye seize all
that his iron freeze our soul
that his sashes cling our waste
that his levy tax the yawl
that his barrel bruise the mast
that his slashes bat the pall
As typically, this is more about sound and wordplay than any coherent meaning. Notice: seize/sees, freeze/frees, sashes/ashes, tax/tacks, bruise/brews, slashes/lashes... and things like that.
ReplyDeleteThe kernel of it, the second line, came from my memory of this line from the movie "The Man With The X-Ray Eyes" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057693/):
"There are great darknesses. Farther than time itself. And beyond the darkness... a light that glows, changes... and in the center of the universe... the eye that sees us all."
I only heard the line, once, long ago; and I always thought it was "the eye that seizes all", until I looked it up just now.
