XIV
Minds that are able to function
only on the sensuous level
have visions of a zoomorphic heaven
without a structure of its own
a mere transposition of terrestrial fauna
with cherubim and angels flapping about
like poultry in a barnyard
unacceptable from any point of view!
I suspect that heaven is more like
a text on symbolic logic
more likely that than an animal exhibit.
