PARADISE. Alasdair Gray
made the earth and water, fire and air
so must have made them pure as Paradise –
pure as these starry spheres, this shining space 73
through which we rise. Why on earth do all things
change, age, sicken, die and rot? Here is why.
76 Our God Himself did not directly make
all of the world below. Live plants and beasts
are generated in His elements
79 by things He made before. Sunlight is one.
Yet on the sixth day of the Genesis
He breathed His own soul into human clay.
82 All other earthly life will suffer death.
Men, women are the great exception,
created by His love to love Him back
85 eternally, after resurrection.”
