history
This is for Dr. Einstein August 6, 1945 Man's achievement tends to consummation, The moth of mind rushes to the flame of death. Age-old pattern set at Eden, Thebes, or Golgotha, The created envies the Creator. Now Earth's thunder heralds its abomination; Lucifer's lashers are lashed to the gallows, The isles of the sun-god scorched by breath sidereal, Infinite force with infinite death. Daughter and mother of mind, earth's latest creation, Life dies by the child now rending her womb. Resurrection waits on Sarasvati's dictum, Wisdom overtaking knowledge. Florence Waterman Written at Folly Cove, Gloucester, Mass. August 7, 1945
