Instinct is water: attraction to it,
And being inside it, attention to the waves;
Alive in this template, to this grand pattern slaves,
Embodiment and image, how can we not intuit
(Instinct is being attracted to water
And in the water to waves,)
The sea’s reply to “What hath God wrought” for
How the invisible behaves.
“What hath God wrought”– The first message sent by telegraph in 1844. The phrase is originally from the Bible, Numbers 23:23, and has been treated variously as an exclamation or a question.
