Now the light is brass and pewter, alloyed metals solid as amber, allied 
with water, umber and charnel, lucent as mercury, fugitive silver, chalk-
rose and coal-blue, true, full of the skulls and skeletons of moonlight, ash 
light and furnace light, West Texas whiskey light, bevel light, cusp light, 
light fall of arches and architectonics, earth light and anchor light, 
sermon light, gospel light, light that clasps hands with the few and the 
many, mesa light, saltbush and longhorn light, barbed wire and freight 
train light, light of the suffering, light of the dusk-fallen, weal light and 
solace light, graveyard at the crossroads light, flood light, harbor light, 
light of the windmills and light of the hills, light that starts the dove from 
the thistle, light that leads the horses to water, light of the boon and 
bounty of the Pecos, light of the Christ of Alpine, light of the savior of 
Marathon, Jesus of cottonwood, Jesus of oil, Jesus of jackrabbits, Jesus of 
quail, Jesus of creosote, Jesus of slate, Jesus of solitude, Jesus of grace.
