Of a sudden, it moved: It came upon them swiftly; It crushed them all to blood. But some had opportunity to squeal. XXXII Two or three angels Came near to the earth. They saw a fat church. Little black streams of people Came and went in continually. And the angels were puzzled To know why the people went thus, And why they stayed so long within. XXXIII There was one I met upon the road Who looked at me with kind eyes. He said, "Show me of your wares." And this I did, Holding forth one. He said, "It is a sin." Then held I forth another; He said, "It is a sin." Then held I forth another; He said, "It is a sin." And so to the end; Always he said, "It is a sin." And, finally, I cried out, "But I have none other." Then did he look at me With kinder eyes. "Poor soul!" he said. XXXIV I stood upon a highway, And, behold, there came Many strange pedlers. To me each one made gestures. Holding forth little images, saying, "This is my pattern of God. "Now this is the God I prefer." But I said, "Hence! "Leave me with mine own, "And take you yours away; "I can’t buy of your patterns of God, "The little Gods you may rightly prefer." XXXV A man saw a ball of gold in the sky; He climbed for it, And eventually he achieved it-- It was clay. Now this is the strange part: When the man went to the earth And looked again, Lo, there was the ball of gold. Now this is the strange part: It was a ball of gold. Aye, by the Heavens, it was a ball of gold. XXXVI I met a seer. He held in his hands The book of wisdom. "Sir," I addressed him, "Let me read." "Child--" he began. "Sir," I said, "Think not that I am a child, "For already I know much "Of that which you hold. "Aye, much." He smiled. Then he opened the book And held it before me.-- Strange that I should have grown so suddenly blind. XXXVII On the horizon the peaks assembled; And as I looked, The march of the mountains began. As they marched, they sang, "Aye! We come! We come!" XXXVIII The ocean said to me once, "Look! "Yonder on the shore "Is a woman, weeping. "I have watched her. "Go you and tell her this,-- "Her lover I have laid "In cool green hall. "There is wealth of golden sand "And pillars, coral-red; "Two white fish stand guard at his bier.
