Blow through his crisp brown curls unconsciously,
And holding wave and wind in boy's despite
Peered from his dripping seat across the wet and stormy night

Fell shrines of prayer and marts of gain
Before the fiery hurricane.

They put on grave faces at the Wailing Wall

That tawny Incas for their gardens wrought,
Heavy with sunshine droops the golden-rod,

Those of you who have followed my blogs on Einstein and Physics theory will recall that I frequently referenced CERN which is an international project near Geneva Switzerland which has as it's goal the re-creation of the conditions of the Big Bang.

But, the multi-billion dollar project has drawn fire as the most dangerous tinkering in the history of the world and has been described as a threat to the entire planet. Lawsuits seeking to enjoin its operations have been filed.

And all the west empurpled with their death,
How swift oblivion drinks the fallen sun,
