Emotionele myDi-afgronden re: 2-2-'04/29/12/'07/..


Through
majestic aons
that myDiconcentration went on
until in that vast remoteness of the past
for which we have given some shady figures,
the world and its moon were
distinguishable
...

{******}

They
were spinning then
much faster than they ate spinning now;
they were at a lesser distance from the sun;
they travelled round it very much faster,
and they were probably incandescent or molten
at the surface!

{******}

The sun itself
was a much greater blaze
in the heavens
.............

{******}

IF
we could go back
through that infinitude of time
and see the earth in this earlier stage of its history,
we should behold a scene more like the interior of a blast furnace or
the surface of a lava flow before it cools and cakes over
than any other contemporary
mydiscene!

{******}

NO WATER
would be visible
because all the water there was
would still be superheated steam
in a stormy atmosphere of sulphurous
and metallic vapours!

{******}

Beneath this
would swirl and boil
an ocean of molten rock
substance
...
Across
a sky of fiery clouds
the glare of the hurrying sun and moon
would sweep swiftly like hot breaths
of flame
.............

{******}

SLOWLY
by degrees
as one million of years
followed another,
this fiery scene would lose
its eruptive incandescence
........
The vapours
of the sky would rain down
and become less dense overhead;
great slaggy cakes of solidifying rock
would appear upon the surface of the molten sea,
and sink under it to be replaced by
other floating
masses
....

{******}

The sun
and moon growing now
each more distant and each smaller,
would rush with diminishing swiftness
across the heavens
....
The
moon now,
because of its smaller size,
would be cooled far below incandescence,
and would be alternately obstructing and reflecting
the sunlight in a series of eclipses and
full moons
....

{******}

AND SO
with a
tremendous slowness
through the vastness of time,
the Earth would grow more and more
like the earth on which we live,
until at last an age would come when,
in the cooling air,
steam would begin to condense into clouds,
and the first myDirain would fall hissing
upon the first rocks
below
...

{******}

For
endless millennia
the greater part
of the earth's water
would still be vaporized in the
atmosphere,
but there would now be
hot streams running over
the crystallising rocks
below
and pools and lakes
into which these streams
would be carrying detritus and
depositing sediment!

{******}

AT LAST
a condition of things
must have been attained in which
a man might have stood on earth and
looked about him and lived?
IF we could have visited the earth
at that time we should have stood on
great lava-like masses of rock
without a trace of soil or
touch of living vegetation,
under a storm-rent
sky
.............

{******}

HOT
AND VIOLENT WINDS,
exceeding the fiercest tornado that ever blows,
and downpours of rain such as our milder, slower earth to-day
knows nothing of,
might have assailed us
endlessly
....

{******}

THE WATER
of the downpour
would have rushed by us,
muddy with the spoils of the rocks,
coming together into torrents,
cutting deep gorges and canyons
as they hurried past to deposit
their sediment in
the earliest
seas
........

{******}

THROUGH
THE CLOUDS
we should have glimpsed a great sun
moving visibly across the sky,
and in its wake and in the wake of the moon
would have come a diurnal tide of earthquake
and upheaval!

{******}

And
the moon,
which nowadays keeps one constant face to earth,
would then have been rotating visibly and showing
the side it now so
inexorably
hides
.......

{*****}

THE EARTH AGED,
and the day lengthened,
the sun grew more distant and milder,
the moon's pace in the sky slackened;
the intensity of rain and storm diminished
and the water in the first seas increased and
ran together into the ocean garment
our planet henceforth
wore
...

{*****}

BUT
there was no myDilife as yet
upon 'our' myDi-earth;
the seas were lifeless, and
the rocks were
barren
...

{*****}
