Prayer (I)
George Herbert
Prayer the Churches banquet, Angels age
God's breath in man returning to his birth,
The soul in paraphrase, heart in pilgrimage,
The Christian plummet sounding heav'n and earth;
Engine against th' Alimightie, sinners towre,
Reversed thunder, Christ-side-piercing spear,
The six-daise world-transposing in an houre,
A kinde of tune, which all things heare and feare;
Softnesse, and peace, and joy, and love, and blisse,
Exalted Manna, gladness of the best,
Heaven in ordinarie, man well drest,
The milkie way, the bird of Paradise,
Church-bels beyond the starred heard, the souls bloud,
The land of spices; something understood.

THE SPICE MUST FLOW.
Wait, wrong poet. Wait, wrong form of literature. What am I on I don't even.
You need to go get in touch with nature and ride a giant worm.
