The Spiritual Nonsense .




The Spiritual Nonsense .

 Bottom arrests wonder to Hamlet ,

 As Alice travels Wonderland's gate ,

 And Falstaff rises from death –bed .

 Humpty Dumpty rides on Donquixote's back ,

 Prospero wills Arden by Ariel's hack ,

 Swift's tales as Gulliver reveals .

 Invites Edward Lear to live in nonsense fable .

 Aaron's cut off rod from Almond tree ,

 Blossoms flowers as reason-free ,

 And Jesus' touch washes death by bliss ,

 Or turning a lover to vampire by Masuda's kiss .

 The ghosts or saints in us are the twin-flowers ,

 In the dark and lighted hemispheres ,-the two towers ,

 Birth enjoins in death and death in birth ,

 Evolves continuously earth after earth ,

 And Faith is nonsense that adds grandeur

 To incompleteness ,as phantasmagoria is our case .
