An Owellian Harpoon

well from the belly of the whale we see the bars of the earth liken to Jonas personel hell awoke on dry land a second birth to tell all that surveil in the present with eyes numerous as fish of the sea The earth is the Lord's He only is omnipresent though they set there nest in the stars to peep even from there to be bought down to dread like David setting by a well guarding sheep if they turn not away the lion and bear are dead sharper than any twoedged sword cutting both ways I Hope they repent before the end of all days
