Ben Maimon pressed The Law through a Greek sieve to find
Its authors could not see beyond their metaphors, the mind
Being but matter.
No matter:
The African Arab takes the cause of the culture that enslaved
him;
Yet we shall find cause in the culture we are raised in
To turn in and break out; silkworm and moth,
One creature, one cloth.
