“God!... Once the lying spirit of a cause With maddening words dethrones the mind of men, They're past the reach of prayer. The eternal laws Hate them. Their eyes will not come clean again, But doom and strong delusion drive them then, Without ruth, without rest... the iron laughter Of the immortal mouths goes hooting after.” — Clive Hamilton (Pseudonym)
God!... Once the lying spirit of a cause
With maddening words dethrones the mind of men,
They're past the reach of prayer. The eternal laws
Hate them. Their eyes will not come clean again,
But doom and strong delusion drive them then,
Without ruth, without rest... the iron laughter
Of the immortal mouths goes hooting after.
