(Continued) Tree of Knowledge Poem
"The Tree of Knowledge, through experience of good and evil, its sweet and bitter fruits. And because God ate of these fruits and became God, they are not forbidden men. The Tree of Knowledge, which is the tree of life, kept living by the rivers of necessity and compassion and wisdom and infinite love, the sole growth, blossoming universes, and man. The tree on which God crucified Himself in limitation, on which men crucify themselves, each other, and dear God. Tree, which He spread out from His single breath of inquiring. Tree, sap of light, fruits of stone fruits, and metal fruits, and tree fruits, and worm fruits, and fish fruits, and bird fruits, and beast fruits, and man fruits. Fruits, which nourished God on His journey for knowledge. And which, through eating, He became and overcame. And became the energy, which grew the tree. And became God, which He always was. Tree, wishing tree, which bears the fruit of every desire. Fruit, which contains within it, thirst and fresh desire. Tree, into which slouch [...] and thrust the sword of heroes and battle. Earth battle, plains battle. Tree of fragrance, of nights, and moon, and washed beach for bed, and eyes wells, and brows dream, and wave lap against side of boat, moored for journeying. And the sun, coming up in chattering street, or jewel sitting, in glory, on distant mountain peak."
