come, thou blessed exhaustion.
come, thou thrice-blessed mindlessness.
come, thou trial!
for my flesh is now larger, greater--each atom further apart.
thy arrows, o fleshy world, pass through me. and i remain.
i stand! i have lifted up my sword, piercing nature, and have created an atoll of my will.
now, now it will get interesting.
(but pray for me. i am a fiery mountain, yet a white-washed, watery carcass.)
let it come. o mountain upon mountain upon mountain of cloud and rain. i fear you not.
i am the key-holder. and i shall write you out of existence. tempt me not.
stay! hold thy wrath. submit o clouds! be stilled o sea!
and i shall walk upon thee.
