Edward Taylor Quote

Who laced and filleted the earth so fine
With rivers like green ribbons smaragdine?
Who made the seas its selvage, and its locks
Like a quilt ball within a silver box?
Who spread its canopy? Or curtains spun?
Who in this bowling alley bowled the sun?


'God's Determination Touching His Elect'; Perry Miller The American Puritans (1956)


Who laced and filleted the earth so fine With rivers like green ribbons smaragdine? Who made the seas its selvage, and its locks Like a quilt ball...

Who laced and filleted the earth so fine With rivers like green ribbons smaragdine? Who made the seas its selvage, and its locks Like a quilt ball...

Who laced and filleted the earth so fine With rivers like green ribbons smaragdine? Who made the seas its selvage, and its locks Like a quilt ball...

Who laced and filleted the earth so fine With rivers like green ribbons smaragdine? Who made the seas its selvage, and its locks Like a quilt ball...
