faith

Posted on 31/07/202031/07/2020 by Mark Prisco

faith in the hands of a weak intellect is dangerous.   if in doubt, burn the house & its ministers   down &, let it be taught: it’s but air that divides us from God, conducts like wire the divine & ties it to flesh & fires   it. might fit: to cut the head…
