THE GODS when the gods remember they are gods they are gods being of that removed company whose life and joy are one thing every step each gesture is motion in a pure state energy without confusion one of them hearing his own voice hears all language everything that can be said speech speaking but when one must be a storm or earthquake justice or comfort he is only that not a god mere fire passed between earth and heaven or lost in the oblivion of a seed forgetting itself in being itself no recollection of the assembly the wide halls light joined to fierce pleasure divinity so how do they come to themselves again become a god once more? and what do they recall of how they forgot?
