The purpose of myth, therefore, is to both reveal and conceal. To tell what we have seen and disguise it, to mask God’s forked tongue.

“I had a vision / of all the people in the world / who are searching for God

massed in a room / on one side / of a partition

that looks / from the other side / (God’s side)

transparent / but we are blind. / Our gestures are blind.”

Anne Carson | “My Religion”
