With conscience cocked to listen for the thunder,

He saw the Devil busy in the wind,

Over the chiming steeples and then under

The doors of nuns and doctors who had sinned.

What apparatus could stave off disaster

Or cut the brambles of man’s error down?

Flesh was a silent dog that bites its master,

World a still pond in which its children drown.

The fuse of Judgement spluttered in his head:

‘Lord, smoke these honeyed insects from their hives.

All Works, Great Men, Societies are bad.

The Just shall live by Faith …’ he cried in dread.

And men and women of the world were glad,

Who’d never cared or trembled in their lives.19
