A poem by Moyra Caldecott, from The William Blake Birthday Book (ISBN 978-0956199904).
Revelation
The dangerous seeing eye
poised to strike at darkness.
No mild recognition,
but terror,
as meaning leaps to meaning,
like lightning on iron mountains.
Words split
in revelation.
The crust of long accustomed
shatters
and an unfamiliar landscape
is revealed.
