in the other direction.
God said: Cry tears of compassion
tears of repentance;
cry against the reek
of unrighteousness;

Let them wrestle with revolutions.
I am resolved to sleep soundly.

Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and […]
