the great hollow..........................

Anger at humans, my own kind -
I remember how it carried me,
joyous in self's self-exaltation,
through a narrow opening as at birth
into the great hollow of the dark itself
where the unappeasable, in unending
revenge for revenge, tread each
alone the circle of no 
beginning or end.  And that is Hell.

-Wendell Berry,  Sabbaths   2010  X
