Flowers to the Wild Weeds


Stones bloomed with red carnations, reptiles swelled in size
the sun descended like a lord dressed in gold robes
holding his earth-wife in his arms dressed with the moon,
and passed out wings for worms, and flowers to the wild weeds.

- Nikos Kazantzakis, Odyssey: A Modern Sequel
