‘The Donkey’ by GK Chesterton: ‘Fools! For I also had my hour’

When fishes flew and forests walked    And figs grew upon thorn, Some moment when the moon was blood    Then surely I was born. With monstrous head and sickening cry    And ears like errant wings, The devil’s walking parody    On all four-footed things. The tattered outlaw of the earth,    Of ancient crooked will; Starve, scourge, deride The post ‘The Donkey’ by GK Chesterton: ‘Fools! For I also had my hour’ appeared first on Catholic Herald.
