 praising the worm
To be eaten by worms is the resurrection. For the worm will continue, evolve and in a few billion years will stride the earth as another magnificient creature. Probably much different from the human because of the then current factors operating in evolution. It will be a truly acclimated product of evolution.
Reproduction by the woman on the other hand is a lot faster (9 mos) but it does not allow that magnificient transformation that reproduction by the worm allows.
The worm is one of Blake's favorite creatures too. It is the purest creature possible and in that blessed drop lies eternal life. Because of the worm there is no true death to the body. It is a visible assurance the body will not completely annihilate. |
