That Nature Is A Heraclitean Fire And Of The Comfort Of The Tesurrection

Cloud-puffball破塔夫茨,扔枕头佛罗里达州{|}unt forth, then chevy on an air{-} Built thoroughfare: heaven-roysterers, in gay-gangs {|} they throng; they glitter in marches. Down roughcast, down dazzling whitewash, {|} wherever an elm arches, Shivelights and shadowtackle {'i}n long {|} lashes lace, lance, and pair. Delightfully the bright wind boisterous {|} ropes, wrestles, beats earth bare Of yestertempest's creases; in pool and rutpeel parches Squandering ooze to squeezed {|} dough, cr{'u}st, dust; st{'a}nches, st{'a}rches Squadroned masks and manmarks {|} treadmire toil there Fo{'o}tfretted in it. Million-fuel{`e}d, {|} nature's bonfire burns on. But quench her bonniest, dearest {|} to her, her clearest-selv{`e}d spark M{'a}n, how f{'a}st his f{'i}redint, {|} his mark on mind, is gone! B{'o}th are in an {'u}nf{'a}thomable, {'a}ll is in an en{'o}rmous d{'a}rk Drowned. O pity and indig {|} nation! Manshape, that shone Sheer off, diss{'e}veral, a st{'a}r, {|} death blots black out; nor mark Is {'a}ny of him at {'a}ll so st{'a}rk But vastness blurs and time {|} beats level. Enough! the Resurrection, A h{'e}art's-clarion! Aw{'a}y grief's g{'a}sping, {|} joyless days, dejection. Across my foundering deck shone A beacon, an eternal beam. {|} Flesh fade, and mortal trash F{'a}ll to the res{'i}duary worm; {|} world's wildfire, leave but ash: In a flash, at a trumpet crash, I am all at once what Christ is {|}, since he was what I am, and Th{'i}s Jack, j{'o}ke, poor p{'o}tsherd, {|} patch, matchwood, immortal diamond, Is immortal diamond.
