... there came a roar as if the Sun and Earth had come together-
The Sun descending and the Earth ascending
To take its place above... the Primal Matter
Was broken, the womb from which all life began,
Then to the murdered Sun a totem pole of dust arose
in the memory of Man
- The Shadow of Cain - by Edith Sitwell
