Demiurge Quote by Czesław Miłosz
““Though not for certain, perhaps in some other year, It shall come to completion in the sixth millennium, or next Tuesday. The demiurge's workshop will suddenly be stilled. Unimaginable silence. And the form of every single grain will be restored in glory. I was judged for my despair because I was unable to understand this.””
