Page 39 - GALIET THE HOLY WORD: Blake IV++

In the Piper’s spirit, there dwells the beauty of Prophecy, of song, of healing in the Lamb’s joy: The Divine Word. In him there dwells the round Word, the perfect Word, the marvelous Word, as Music, as Song, as Word made Poesy, made Song, made Music.
And thus, Blake not only weds innocence and experience, but also reconciles Greece and Judeo-Christianity. In the Piper, genuine shepherd and piper of wondrous marvels, dwells the divine song of the Lamb made Word, made Music.
Holy.
Only in him, genuine Poet, Piper and Shepherd and gazer of nature and the spheres, resides a deep hearing, a deep faith, a Metaphysics of Splendor. Hearing it, it abides, and pipes and sings and writes about the flowering blossom of the Absolute Mind or Absolute Idea Divine,27 the Light made Word and the Word made Light amidst the staining of the water clear and the child’s symmetry of tears.
