"Was man made stupid to see his own stupidity?
Is God by definition indifferent, beyond us all?
Is the eternal truth man's fighting soul
Wherein the Beast ravens in its own avidity?"

"You would think the fury of aerial bombardment
Would rouse God to relent;"

Morning:

I am a new member. I am trying to find the full text of this Eberhart Poem with the following 'stanza':

'If I could only live at the pitch that is near madness when
everything is as it was in my childhood violent, vivid,
and of infinite possibility.'

- Richard Eberhart

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

I remain,

Adam

Yours for a free society
