can the wings of the winds understand your voices of wonder, o you the second of the first, whom the burning flames have framed within the depth of my jaws; whom i have prepared as cups for a wedding, or as the flowers in their beauty for the chamber of righteousness. stronger are your feet than the barren stone, and mightier are your voices than the manifold winds. for you are become a building such as is not, but in the mind of the all powerful. arise, says the first: move therefore unto his servants: show yourselves in power: and make me a strong seething: for i am of him that lives for ever. a painting by roberto ferri!, by austin osman spare!!
