I WILL BREAK GOD SEAMLESS SKULL
I will break God’s seamless skull,
And I will break His kissless mouth,
O I’ll break His faultless shell,
And fall for me upon Eve’s gold mouth

I will crack it by my force of love:


I’ll be a cyclone gale and spill
Me out of his bounding groove.
I’ll be upon Eve, upon Eve,
Upon Eve and her coats of love!
I’ll be upon Eve, upon eve.

Cataract of Adamhood. There would I be


My Lord there would I rebuild me thee
There alone would I find my finality.
