Out of the dusk a shadow,
Then a spark;
Out of the cloud a silence,

And others call it God.

Said the little Eohippus,
"I am going to be a horse,
And on my middle fingernails
To run my earthly course!

I'm going to have a flowing tail!
I'm going to have a mane!
I'm going to stand fourteen hands high
On the Psychozoic plain!"

And the man said, "Am I your debtor?"
And the Lord--"Not yet: but make it as clean as you can,
And then I will let you a better."
