INTERMISSION & QUOTES

"They followed the light and the shadow,
and the light led them toward light
and the shadow led them to darkness,
Worshipping snakes or trees,
worshipping devils rather than nothing;
crying for life beyond life,
for ecstasy not of the flesh.
Waste and void, Waste and void.
and darkness on the face of the deep."

T.S. Eliot
Choruses from "the Rock"

"I like to watch Eve."

Being There

"The sound of a report!
Behold it comes! A great commotion
out of the land of the north
To make the cities of Judah
A desolation, a haunt of Jackals"

Jeremiah 10:22

"Men have left God
not for other gods, they say,
but for no god;
and this has never happened before

That men both deny gods and worship gods,
professing first Reason,
And then Money,
and Power,
and what they call Life,
or Race,
or Dialectic.

The Church disowned,
the tower overthrown,
the bells upturned,
what have we to do
But stand with empty hands
and palms turned upwards
In an age which advances
progressively backwards."
