“I saw the angels lifted like pale straws; I could not stand before those winnowing eyes. And fell, until I found the world again. Now I lack grace to tell what I have seen; For though the head frames words the tongue has none. And who will prove the surgeon to this stone?” — Geoffrey Hill

I saw the angels lifted like pale straws; I could not stand before those winnowing eyes. And fell, until I found the world again. Now I lack grace to tell what I have seen; For though the head frames words the tongue has none. And who will prove the surgeon to this stone?
