    When fishes flew and forests walked
    And figs grew upon thorn,
    Some moment when the moon was blood
    Then surely I was born.
    With monstrous head and sickening cry
    And ears like errant wings,
    The devil's walking parody
    On all four-footed things.

They are waiting on the shingle--will you come and join the
dance?"

Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
