who is like God
ancient of days, of most ancient
days--he who, being of so many days, hath
all of them drawn in one--
milennially dwelt--dwells--just so

hear the very bones of the earth speak it;
ears, hear what the clay itself crieth:
ready tears fell to me as he laid low
Abel's lifeless body into the hearth
near my own ruddy bowels, and, lo,
driven up from me, there went forth a claim
on the blood of the other, the low
understudy of Gog, slayer of the
righteous son, withstander of wealth;
great wonders, however, arise, even a
oneness of so many days: Av
denominate they all now the father of the
atoning one (the typical Abel), call they that
newly (and thereby) made patriarch, who,
downward bowed, speaks of the (at last) prophesied;
