What is the knocking?

What is the knocking at the door in the night?

It is somebody wants to do us harm.

No, no, it is the three strange angels.

Admit them, admit them.

Song Of A Man Who Has Come Through

D. H. Lawrence

Does the Eagle know what is in the pit?

Or wilt thou ask the Mole?

Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod,

Or Love in a Golden bowl?

The Book of Thel

William Blake
