    “Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
    Bring me my Arrows of desire:
    Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
    Bring me my Chariot of fire!

    I will not cease from Mental Fight,
    Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand,
    Till we have built Jerusalem
    In England’s green & pleasant Land.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “Flies, acolytes
    of the death-in-life temple
    buzz their prayers
    and from the altar
    of excrement arises
    an incense ...”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
