Gilbert Keith Chesterton - The DesecratersGilbert Keith Chesterton - The Desecraters
Work rating: Low


Witness all: that unrepenting,   Feathers flying, music high, I go down to death unshaken   By your mean philosophy. For your wages, take my body,   That at least to you I leave; Set the sulky plumes upon it,   Bid the grinning mummers grieve. Stand in silence: steep your raiment   In the night that hath no star; Don the mortal dress of devils,   Blacker than their spirits are. Since ye may not, of your mercy,   Ere I lie on such a hearse, Hurl me to the living jackals   God hath built for sepulchres.
