The poem
From Job
A spirit passed before me: I beheld The face of immortality unveiled— Deep sleep came down on every eye save mine— And there it stood,—all formless—but divine: Along my bones the creeping flesh did quake; And as my damp hair stiffened, thus it spake:
"Is man more just than God? Is man more pure Than He who deems even Seraphs insecure? Creatures of clay—vain dwellers in the dust! The moth survives you, and are ye more just? Things of a day! you wither ere the night, Heedless and blind to Wisdom's wasted light!"
this poem is questioning the power of God in creating all mankind. however it is also questioning the rule of mankind's rule over the earth today.
"Is man more just than God? Is man more pure than he who deems even Saraphs insecure?"
