The ‘I-can-choke-you-to death!’on her nape And victim’s tightening teeth of sour grape; Also, her dozen-times-tried-dozen-times failed escape And the iron pants she would now over the poor thing drape....

Measuring God
How are you going to do it? How do you weigh the Infinite? How do you measure the Absolute? How do you test the IQ of Omniscience? Would you measure God for a suit?
