"When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born.
With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil’s walking parody
On all four-footed things.
The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.
Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet." (The Donkey by G.K. Chesterton)
Me paraphrasing:
When everything's weird I show up.
I mean really weird.
I don't really belong here.
for some reason, they praise me.
Me thinking, yeah it's scary... :
Can't tell if they were talking about Jesus or a donkey, I'm sorry THE Donkey. It would make sense if it were a donkey since the title is The Donkey, but to me it sounds like he is talking about Jesus...
Yeah he has to talking about a donkey because the "allusion" would not allude to anything if he was talking about Jesus. Yep.
