Deicide in retrospect.

Campbell said that one must depart from one's God to join the Godhead. He used the analogy of a moth beating against glass, trying to reach the flame. The intent is to break through and to ignite.
I am watching a moth buzz about my fan-lamp.
It was nice poetry on Joe's part, but I think he had just found a way of trapping the moth.

Moth

A man dreamt of a flame
behind a glass
A moth, proclaimed he,
buzzed about it
I'm watching a moth this
moment pass
Thinking of what he's said, I
start to doubt it

He said your God's your
utmost barrier
Break through to the flare,
he quoth
But I think we should be
much warier
He managed only to
ensnare the moth.
