You know, in the Scriptures it says, “In the beginning was the word.” No! In the beginning was emotion. The Word came later, replacing emotion like trot replaced gallop, while the natural law of the horse is gallop; it is forced to break into trot. Man was removed from emotional poetry and pushed into dialectics, in other words, splat- tering, isn’t that so?
