The gods “‘do not appear in all their fullness [enargeîs],’
Calasso writes.”
~ Michael Schmidt, The First Poets, 19
Jehovah shows his backside to the eye
Of Moses in the fire and smoke and cloud.
We wonder if that eye was sideways, sly,
Egyptian somewhat, and a bit too proud
(He being Prince and all that kind of stuff),
But never mind. That’s what we have. When Saul
Meets Jesus, Light and Loudness are enough
To blind and crush the man. Why showman All?
And even when the Christ was walking on
The dust of Israel, his flesh and eyes
And hair prevented men from seeing the dawn
Of truth until Resurrection’s surprise.
.. The fullness of the gods is more than we
….. Can bear. Gods show a burning bush and Tree.
