Carved Plate from Crespi Collection
© 2016 B. L. Freeborn (updated Dec. 2018)
In this piece from the Crespi Collection find the words in italic:
The hoary ancient head of Earth was left low
as the two holes pressed through.
The sword struck near the foot of the tile foundation.
It walked and made a two footed foundation,
one magnetic and the other true.
The dagger of Baal with its two craters lies at the rightful pole.
It is the angle that parts longitude.
The pole wavered and split,
the collar dropped to the eye.
The new youthful Earth was thus clothed.
