It is the whole of him. Which means it is the unknown him, as well as the known. It seems to me just funny, professors and Benjamins fixing the functions of the soul. Why, the soul of man is a vast forest, and all Benjamin intended was a neat back garden. And we've all got to fit into his kitchen garden scheme of things. Hail Columbia ! The soul of man is a dark forest. The Hercynian Wood that scared the Romans so, and out of which came the white- skinned hordes of the next civilization. Who knows what will come out of the soul of man? The soul of man is a dark vast forest, with wild life in it. Think of Benjamin fencing it off! Oh, but Benjamin fenced a little tract that he called the soul of man, and proceeded to get it into cultivation. Providence, forsooth! And they think that bit of barbed wire is going to keep us in pound for ever? More fools they. ... Man is a moral animal. All right. I am a moral animal. And I'm going to remain such. I'm not going to be turned into a virtuous little automaton as Benjamin would have me. 'This is good, that is bad. Turn the little handle and let the good tap flow,' saith Benjamin, and all America with him. 'But first of all extirpate those savages who are always turning on the bad tap.' I am a moral animal. But I am not a moral machine. I don't work with a little set of handles or levers. The Temperance- silence-order- resolution-frugality-industry-sincerity - justice- moderation-cleanliness-tranquillity-chastity-humility keyboard is not going to get me going. I'm really not just an automatic piano with a moral Benjamin getting tunes out of me. Here's my creed, against Benjamin's. This is what I believe: 'That I am I.' ' That my soul is a dark forest.' 'That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest.' 'Thatgods, strange gods, come forth f rom the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back.' ' That I must have the courage to let them come and go.'

All around us, it shoved huge deciduous behemoths flat to the earth, or tore them out by the roots. \"I have never been able to say “No” to wonder. Wherever God stood naked, I wanted to crawl into the middle and gawk. Plus, I’d already lost everything I had built or wanted to live for when we’d left San Diego, and my marriage had become a long, aching death. I had nothing left. I had to touch God again at all costs… \"... I ripped open the door, then had to shove my full weight into closing it behind me. Slamming and bucking against harsh unseen walls, waging war for every step, I crushed both hands into the railing, fought my way downstairs, past a pool already choked with roofing and with life torn apart. I bucked and strained my way out onto the street, deeper into the dark, vile heart of a hurricane. Gnashing hard into the storm, I leaned into winds that pummeled and slammed me about like a machete. \"Inching and lunging across the intersection, where all but one streetlight had crashed to the pavement, I crushed my way through as that last light sparked and whipped overhead. Winds like that can drive a grain of rice through a concrete wall, so I wrenched a stop sign out of a tree and held it before me as a shield, slamming my way backward through an intersection of shattered glass and metal, out onto a golf course, where I screeched Hallelujahs no one could hear. \"In that open field, that raging, shrieking fury slammed and wrenched the sign into my chest. For the first time in a long time, \"I thanked God and prayed for survival. \"I fought my way back home. The sign heaved at my face, sliced my hands open, and blasted away into the night. \"There was no one left there but me, God, and His mighty, undeniable power.\" - From \"Entertaining Naked People”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Edward Fahey" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/edward-fahey/hurricane-andrew-tore-trees-apart-drove-their-shrieking-limbs-past/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/72d/edward-fahey-59837_every-step_hurricane-andrew-tore-trees-apart-drove_3028471.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/72d/edward-fahey-59837_every-step_hurricane-andrew-tore-trees-apart-drove_3028471.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/72d/edward-fahey-59837_every-step_hurricane-andrew-tore-trees-apart-drove_3028471.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“[Hurricane] Andrew tore trees apart; drove their shrieking limbs past our walls.
