"Breathe, O God, into my lifeless works that they might somehow hold in their feeble forms such angles and fragments and rumors of the fire of the glory that is already made ready and waiting to burst forth from the seams of creation's old garments—when you but speak the word—and all things sin-soaked and subject to futility will be suddenly unsodden and revealed in their truer forms in a new turning of the light, now resurrected, now shed of the great groan of the world, now displaying
in full measure the glory they were intended
to hold at their first creation.

I am here to rehearse the New Creation
in the making of this thing."
