And while my puzzled thoughts about it pore, I find the bread of life in ’t at my door .  \nWhen that this bird of paradise put in  \nThis wicker cage ( my corpse) to tweedle praise Had pecked the fruit forbid: and so did fling  \nAway its food , and lost its golden days, It fell into celestial famine sore, And never could attain a morsel more .  \nAlas! alas! poor bird, what wilt thou do?  \nThis creature’s field no food for souls e’er gave:  \nAnd if thou knock at angels ’ doors , they show An empty barrel: they no soul bread have . Alas! poor bird, the world’s white loaf is done, And cannot yield thee here the smallest crumb.  \nIn this sad state , God ’s tender bowels run Out streams of grace: and he to end all strife,  \nThe purest wheat in heaven, his dear-dear Son Grinds, and kneads up into this bread of life:  \nWhich bread of life from heaven down came and stands Dished in thy table up by angels’hands .  \nDid God mold up this bread in heaven, and bake,  \nWhich from his table came , and to thine goeth? Doth he bespeak thee thus: this soul bread take;  \nCome , eat thy fill of this , thy God’s white loaf?  \nIt ’s food too fine for angels; yet come, take  \nAnd eat thy fill! it ’s heaven’s sugar cake.  \nWhat grace is this knead in this loaf? This thing Souls are but petty things it to admire . Ye angels, help: this fill would be to the brim  \nHeaven ’s w helmed-down crystal meat bowl , yea and higher . This bread of life dropped in thy mouth doth cry:  \nEat, eat me , soul, and thou shalt never die.","cbCaivGD62hishcp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivGD62hishcp","pdf",21064,"English","# I kenning through astronomy divine\n## Divine sight and the golden path\n## The bird in its cage and spiritual famine\n## God’s grace and the bread of life","[{\"question\":\"What does the speaker mean by “kenning through astronomy divine”?\",\"answer\":\"The speaker uses contemplation of a divine, bright “battlement” of the world to perceive a golden path, turning observation into spiritual insight.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the poem describe human spiritual condition?\",\"answer\":\"It portrays the soul as the “bird of paradise” placed in a cage, losing golden days and falling into “celestial famine,” with no bread available at angels’ doors.\"},{\"question\":\"What solution does God provide according to the poem?\",\"answer\":\"God’s tender compassion sends grace through the grinding of the purest wheat in heaven—his dear Son—into “bread of life,” offered to the soul so it may eat and never die.\"}]","Edward Taylor - I Kenning Through Astronomy Divine | PDF",1792380787]
