The world is holy! The soul is holy! The skin is holy!
The nose is holy! The tongue and cock and hand

holy! everyday is in eternity! Everyman's an
angel!

much less a universe.

Congress broken thru to the precipice of Eternity

The American Century betrayed by a mad Senate which no longer sleeps with its wife
