Molecessity

On the impossibility of fathoming
What his aesthetic criteria were, he said,

"It's an odd feature of rituals that allows
People to believe they are experiencing

Divinity, when they know that the mechanics
Are conjured by humans." Thanks. That was a big help.

It is the whole picture presented by a myth
And not any image of a god that matters,

That the Deluge being universal, that Wind
Which blew the waters from one part must blow them up

In another. The big picture then, no escape,
No way to pile up your excesses somewhere else,

Out of the way, that's what you need to accept here.
Thus aesthetics deep enough to cover the Earth.

In the meantime, the fire had gone out in the waves.
