THE ANIMALS’ ARK
The animals’ own ark sank because the water became polluted,
and thereby whole species of animals died out thousands of years ago.
Mammoths and prehistoric lions, giant vultures
and the mythical sabre-toothed tiger. Nor should we
forget the dire wolf. Not to mention the largest
of all birds we have heard of, the Teratorn, which weighed as much
as a full-grown man. This is a story
of creation and extinction that cannot be rounded off by a dove
with an oily leaf in its beak. The animals drowned in a pool of oil
and were transmuted into an image of themselves, fossils, which
were later found on the sea-bed, and the message they convey
to us today we must write down in our own scriptures.
