quote for today

Chesterton rocks my face off. ____________ "The Donkey" by G. K. Chesterton When fishes flew and forests walked, And figs grew upon thorn, Some moment when the moon was blood Then surely I was born; With monstrous head and sickening cry And ears like errant wings, The devil's walking parody On all four-footed things; The tattered outlaw of the earth, Of ancient crooked will; Starve, scourge, deride me--I am dumb, I keep my secret still. Fools! For I also had my hour; One far fierce hour and sweet-- There was a shout about my ears And palms before my feet.
