    We have learned to whittle the Eden Tree to the shape of a
    surplice peg,
    We have learned to bottle our parent twain in the yelk of an
    addled egg.
    We know that the tail must wag the dog, for the horse is drawn by
    the cart,
    But the devil never whoops, as he of old; It's clever, but is it
    art?
