Kiln Visions: Ekphrastic Meditations on Ceramic BeastsAE Reiff
Histericks 2023
Copyright 2023 AE Reiff [Revised Draft]Introduction: The Kiln as Visionary ChamberIn the heat of the kiln, clay undergoes alchemical rebirth—bruised, fused, cracked, and burned into forms that echo ancient myths yet emerge wholly new. These ceramic beasts—Centaur, Zodiac, Taurobolium, Rhinoceros, Behemoth, and Leviathan—began as unformed earth, shaped by hand and fire into visionary hybrids. They are not mere representations but meditations on transformation: the centaur's seamless merge of man and horse, the zodiac's explosive wheel, the taurobolium's bull-body of land. Through ekphrasis, I describe their textures, fractures, and glazes, inviting the viewer to sense the kiln's breath—the way heat warps symmetry into simultaneity, repetition into circular bending. These pieces, fired in cycles of creation and rupture, symbolize resets not as endings but as artistic renewals, where earth's materiality reveals hidden depths. Order of the First Seal Centaur. According to the Seven Seals there are 15 elements of war but only five on which any would agree. The evacuation of Aeneas from Troy is one, Homer is another and the accounts of Jerusalem, attacked 50 times,considered with Cleophas who encountered him, and Tacitus, whose "mischievous superstition" spreadfrom Judea to Rome, with London burning in the last war too, and all those hard fighting men in their repose, fleeing through the burning tunnels of Elysium. Aeneas escaping, Troy and Virgil in the midst of Dante, we should be thankful that it is not worse for those pass the smoldering ruins of the dragon in the reeds on that highway in the desert. Up the high road we pass and sometimes walk to Eden together on the bridge between. Aeneas did not then think of founding Rome, but Virgil does. We have no Virgil. Beasts up out of the sea, proxies for the half-man, half-bull to rule in the labyrinth of this Order of the First Seal Centaur. Considering that the Egyptian zodiac blows up with this, and a russet rhinoceros, a most rare potato, runs across the piano wheres an Americo-Taurobolium crock pot bull turns the geography of the United States flat, then rolls it into two. two dimensions in a geography, thenthree, there you have it as a Mercator Projection. Properly understood Trojan is a Laocoön Revisited. The Trojan priest attacked by sea serpents tried to prevent the Horse from being dragged into the city. We have no proof that any of this happened.Supercharged hitchhikers from Hieronmy Bosch jump off the linear time into the Seven Seals. So what if we see a man turn into a CENTAUR right in front of our eyes! So what if the audience converts all repetition, echo, and progression of simultaneity into circular bending? Circling the linear in the cycles of history goes on and on until some Gideon mocks it with trumpets and flashlights. No Gideon here, but a hundred “sculptures” of our concern presume the events they stand for when they fall in the fire, bruise and fuse, crack and burn. This is a first inning ZODIAC melted to a kiln shelf. Put that pomp and circumstance in the uncanny strange everyday.Six hundred billion invisible beings are not to be bored. There must have a list of observers of the honest in Dante, Goya, Gehry and Bosch who turns this wine jar into a pig. Out they come from the Seven Seals irreal. The propulsive furcula of shell- backed chelonian carapaces have taken over the world (Koerner).What’s going on then if Centaur, Zodiac, TAUROBOLIUM, and Rhinoceros descend into these Behemoth Leviathan colonies? Four new elements of land and sea? Taking the patched and arbitrary custom of words in this style, with homonyms, it’s not hard to pretend the writer has been given a translation of his own hand where commas and periods deviating from roundness are judged as comma and exclamations are taken to be the nearest of unequal size. These throw ups are offered in the waterways and uplands of principalities and powers, the 70 or 72 regent associates to which the world got given after Babel. It heads the Taurobolium, the eye and west snout, parts of California gone. Easteners used to think Baja the tail, but now has Florida is the back foot. If states and nations prophesy morals by local address, you might impose a latitude and longitude map on top and check to find out where you are. The map is moving slower than the eye. Martin Buber wanted “Spirit to subjugate the State.” It did! The Taurobolium sacrifice is an American bull. Jeremiah Scroll We might compare the scroll Jeremiah wrote against Babylon and threw in the Euphrates as a personal copy to take on the road. Wrap it on the arm and around the waist, fit it to the feet, and as a shield, a helmet and a sword as that song of Deuteronomy 31.19. “He has shown to me the path of life. I have set God always before me, surely he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.” (Psalm 16.8. as in Levinas, Beyond the Verse, 180). None of the ekphrasis of this work were intended before. but it did appear and now we have to deal with updates on the prince of Greece, and more on barrenness of Cleveland and Columbus hollowed out, the basin where Akron is mistaken for Gaza, Manhattan is driven out in day, L.A.’s earthquake crumble to shake the clay, Japan sleeping goes to the sun, and New Jersey’s transcendent bridges spontaneously pull along in nations to which behemoth and leviathan come (Blue Labyrinths, The Cherubim Collection, FuturesTrading, 8.2, 57-69). The topography of the Florida panhandle, the tip of Maine, Big Bend of the Rio Grande of Texas, the Rockies are analogues of what, darkness around the Mississippi, where some regions look as they are now but others not? What happened to the Great lakes? What is that barren hump of a plateau, the new Madrid fault risen to unseen heights? How combine geography, morality, prophecy, topography to the land mass of head and eye? Is this Ellen White’s idea? Besides the vacancies in California, the “New Madrid” section in the center had to be glued back on to prevent the whole breaking in two. That it looks like a cow with all the attributes Herr Nietzsche calls Piedis not to push the brink, the American land mass so far that it is bigger in fiction than philosophy. Bigger than a horse, bigger than a cow, bigger than a bull. To tell its largess wits cut the land into woman, the universe of her alpine crests, “Is not the universe strait-laced when I can clasp it in the waist?” (John Cleveland (1613–1658). “Two foaming Billows are her Breasts, That carry, rais'd upon their Crests, The Tyrian Fish: More white's their Fome, Then that, whence Venus once did come: Here take her by the Hand, my Muse. (“A Description." Lord Herbert of Cherbury). Once discovered, the landscape of the body gave way to metaphysics, amatory conceits and analogies from gardens changing the lovely place to the love place. The body of land of the woman writ large what the garden detailed as a lovely spot, first forerunner of American "geography" of this world's bliss. When thecommerce paled into a catalogue of nations of Ireland's bogs, Scotland's barrens, England's white cliffs, Belgium’s lowlands, and the French civil wars appeared in her forehead and America's riches, (Comedy ofErrors) like too rich a diet, carbuncle her nose the stage was set for more sober metaphor of bulls. Reposition the woman and the land, reverse the head of Maine and the front foot of Florida. The west fresco is her head. She looks like a brahma bull. The cow is a bull and bigger than a cow when all countries moo in the global oecumene of the known. Tell of her largess. She welcomed whole countries and peoples topopulate. She was so big you could find out countries in her (Comedy of Errors). Was she literally a whole new world? Her cries, Ox cries signifying every metaphysical society that ever trod, summarized St. Antipas cooked in its pot at Pergamon. Kepler cooked his in the Mysterium Cosmographicum. Time-polarized Electro-Magnetic Signatures, Werther Effects populate these colonies outside the gates. How else gain knowledge? It is self evident that the highest up with the lowest down get roped the same. Lakes in the dewlaps? Not 100 acres of prairie exist. Ten feet of topsoil washed to the Gulf. The waste white areas, like Houston or Dallas, barren a hundred years ago might be impervious runoff. Buffalo gone, mountains behind,” carried into the midst of the sea” (Psalm 46). Can the Great Lakes drain? Look for where you live in this afterlife. What of these myth mountains in the Orcopias? Myth or fact, the salt flats? The Orcopedia geology represents a dramatic and variable terrain of the San Andreas Fault. The Orocopia blue schist assemblage matched the Pelona schist 250 km away in the San Gabriel Mountains along the San Andreas. Hill and Dibblee (1953) note the piercing point, to construct first estimates of offset. So if we read a land mass according to an animal it resembles, nicely contained in an east west bull, or a cow if you incline to feminine, you may say Chile comprises a sea horse. Some of these districts were once called–Gateway to Heaven. “A rural suburb below Jerusalem called Motza was actually a place called Kolonia.” It’s not a place to worship. The gods all over Serapeum of Saqqara, Alexandria, burial place of the Apis bull, combine geography, morality and prophecy as a sacrifice convenient to crises–all fires set under the hollow bronze bull, heating the metal until the prisoners inside are roasted as their cries, translated through a system of tubes and stops, sound like the bellowing of an infuriated bull. Bull Where the bull is sacrificed for the welfare of the emperor Empire, “He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. Then he shall kill the bull before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall bring the blood and throw the blood against the sides of the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.” (Leviticus 1.4-5), events that have nothing to do with each other in time connect to each other in the tragical “beyond meaning” to which prophecy is reduced in the news. A human torso cast as a world, or in America as the woman’s body, the empire of Logres stretched across Europe as a woman (Charles Williams) or America cast as a bull to be sacrificed in the nations cast as beasts, to show simultaneous features of these matters, the ox as one of the four cherubim in Genesis stands throughout for the living creatures, witness of animals. To discern the kinds, “the Cherubim are not angels, but are the “Living Creatures” descried in the first chapter of Ezekiel and he fourth of the Apocalypse” (Pember. Animals Their Past and Future), so the ox as Taurobolium so combined, offered up in a cosmic liturgy, as Teilhard de Chardin surrendered to the possession of a global body and mind. Our tauroboliumcontains nations, continents, the world, space, as a segmentation of symbol, not reading the literal facts, so asunbelievable as if Henry Ford had started his own race of men. Teilhard the car dealer, the sacrifice of space as cosmos entertainment charged with irreality. Coming down to earth from the taurobolium of space, we reposition in a system of supernatural beasts just as likely, where herds of behemoth roam, though nobody ever saw but one, and from the sea and penetrating trough of rivers sea serpents swam inland, right out of the Odyssey and Laocoön? The endless rebroadcast of seesaw facts by analogy to partial occurrences. Bulls and bears, chicken, lion, eagle, and a man could interchange in these roles, where geologics spin every proportion and property of the place. If passage tombs could talk, or rock, volcanic ash, reburied feldspar, then the fish streams under clay spines speak. The Deep Leviathan comes up out of the sea, the same sea that ‘shall be no more” in the great revelation, The sea is the same deep as when darkness was upon the face of the waters. To infer chaos with deep and then that the sea shall be no more circles the whole of that old creation. Sometimes it is said the waters became, without form and void that were created perfect to allow for the ruin in all geological strata. Darkness on the face of the deep and the face of the waters shall also imply more that surface. What is behind the face? Elsewhere there is reference to the fountains of the deep. a spiritual abyss, where the "face" represents the surface while the "deep" signifies the hidden, bottomless expanse beneath. This is supported by its use in Genesis 1:2, where "darkness was upon the face of the deep," indicating a layer of darkness above a hidden, watery depth. "panim"face. There are different words for deep ṯə-hō-wm; and waters, ham-mā-yim. But not for face. The sea is one of seven evils that John says will no longer exist, the other six being death, mourning, weeping, pain (21:4), the curse (22:3), and night (21:25; 22:5).5 The first a lion with eagle wings plucked, lifted from the earth and made to stand on its feet like a man with a human heart. The second a bear raised up on one side with three ribs in its mouth. The third a leopard with four chicken wings on its back and four heads puts Colonel Sanders out of business. The fourth kingdom unlike the others covers the world and devours them all. Ravenous epithets personify the seven seals with programmable matter. Taurobolium, Behemoth and Leviathan involve this particular centuries of passion before locked up in the bag drowning like Mennonites and boiling in the oil of Ur on the Rhine. Rolling from Zurich and Bern, Palatinates and every one of that generation of Swiss ancestors, Clemmer, Gehman, Rosenberger, Landis, Clemens, Bechtel got to Philadelphia. Of course flesh is not stone, nor dug with steam shovels and picks but dessicated, shrunk, contracted to reveal hidden springs when all that mass is taken, hidden springs, tree roots and strata, so it’s hard to think itself unique to make a resonant chamber, the soul, each day carry down to the sea a little bucket of sand and bring back another of water up the shore, mold castles and shapes of the moon, if such a thing has shape. Each day without end change tack, little bucket down or experience digs out a little more solid, shaping, to imagine in a hundred years accelerated, destined, predestined times and persons, internal resonating in a chamber. Located nowhere at all, there exists a resonant cavity and the outward chamber of the mouth, it is the soul, none other, inside the throat, those caves and nasal beauties above, upper chamber where beauty lives and all sounds, vowels, stops take seat in production of the soul and echo relation, ventriloquism by pseudonym, not of a puppet master, though we should consider it, but a speaking through the present of the past. To include the imaginations of those times in familiar occupation, a back story explanation of symbol, called rehabilitation of myth, cites collective remembrance and recognition to unencumber history of the human.We call it myth, confined just to the Greek, but far and wide it is about something multidimensional in the religion of the symbolism of the leviathan’s fins, by which it propels itself from one end of the world to the other: as it were, effortlessly through the realms, making enormous progress all at once. This became the philosophy of Francis Bacon, for all say so. When the righteous translate words to oppose the fabrication inside Behemoth that drinks up Jordan through its nose or the occultist Böhme eating the flesh of behemoth or leviathan, le géant, as if it were flesh, whose devotees who claim to download light when they travel without their bodies, all the water of Jordan flows to that sea to take liberty that Leviathan will eventually do battle with the shor habar and slaughter it, so we understand the mode of worship of those righteous analogized to the shor habar. In one respect land- righteous superior to that of sea-righteous since the Everlasting did. These sanctified icons! To the rich of the golden age, but seek not to ward off enemies but to enforce them. Enforce our enemies upon us/ Bosch again. We ke hearing the words of St. Paul, Oh wretched man that I am, Who will deliver me? Whoever will may come. The demolition of that world hadn’t linearly transformed itself when Euclidean space was subjected to such indignity. To dream of these undergrounds and caverns as a child and traverse them too, before reading Tolkien, I explored natural caves, Schoolhouse Cave especially, a wholesome experience compared to the artifact Under Ground. In the use of ancient cities as habitations of myth, personally by their exploration, they all have undergrounds as modern cities do. Dante’s map of the fallen cosmos in human form is a picture of the eye. He takes the physical world as an allegory of the spiritual. Whoever’s on the beanstalk that swaps their cow for a wonder stick or a bee that sings and a fiddle that plays pop-tunes, that is the good cow, Milky White, whose wonders appear in the tales. As puppoets write pop tunes, climb the beanstalk or cut it down, or exchange a cow for seeds that grow to climb to the gates of heaven, get up to find Jack Bommb, that moonlight idol Temple serves all who climb the sky. The ReSet The end of Isaiah is like the last of Beethoven’s String Quartets, an incomprehension at the height of words. So it comes that leviathan, thought mostly as an image in Job 41, is a profounding prophetic. Each facility of this Futurist playbook completes this era of one hundred years, opposed by the fakta of a continent and an age apart from the original. The formalist theories of faktovivi however bypass controls to code hidden propitiatory work, read correctly. The first priority remains accentuated real material gathered either first hand or culled from documentary sources. It doesn’t help that Mr. Jonathan Swift thought his best book, A Tale of a Tub claimed to make a game of Truth and Moral Honesty in the three churches, which transfers to our subjects as behemoth, leviathan and taurobolium. Theology never had too much humor. Order, Swift again, among all the horses’ heads, asses, donkeys and bull, those “good worthies one can name, I hold to not draw so far afield as to omit the ass with a horn, meaning the critic who browses so tightly upon these leaves as to improve the fruit” of A Tub, (Oxford, 47). Swift is the ass with the horn. We have no such apology. The Word Never Occurring Not to be literal about the word never before occurring, the word has been a bugaboo of critics for years, measured by those two heroic phrases that never before existed according to Google, I mean “bright extensive will” and “word written in earth’s center,” which before publication gave only a search result for Dogen’s Extensive Record: A Translation of Eihei Koroku. But now after, when we search for the “word written in Earth’s center,” and “all earth, surface, sky and core finds peace,” or “when Sons of God blind in all their beams then enter creation,” this poem written a half century ago enters before the internet concordance began. How could there not have been results in English before that for such obvious phrases? “The BRIGHT EXTENSIVE WILL” “the word written in earth’s center” sound like they would be prominent in the lexicon. “The matter of its making” had passing resemblance with the title by Dorothy Sayers, The Mind of the Maker. The reference to “Sons of Elohim who bow from out the sky” occurred likewise nowhere at all, as did not “concentrated and blind in all their beams,” then enter creation. Poets are full of hapax so much that it could be many volumes of Hopkins and Yeats. Instead of thinking these phrases original, the digital concordance enables us to search if they are. A skew of search results and a dementia of memory also occurs, with misdirection and priority. Who ever will, the deliverer is not in the poemation, not in the ekphrasis, not in the legomen. Just to make that clear. A step further, the statement of art as piety as the defender of culture against outsiders and a representation of the gods who protect that culture through work proceeds neither way, to know the gods through the art or the art through the gods. What is the American shield of the gods if we know Homer’s Achilles’s shield of the Greeks. Never forget none of these ever existed, they are all words supported in the legemona with the emblematic décor of the Palladium, in Homer’s case, the statuary representation of divine protector, in that case of Troy. Antipas, Bishop of Pergamon, ordained by the Apostle John during the reign of the Nero, was martyred when the cast out demons worshiped there, by being burned in a brazen bull-shaped altar. In the capital of the new south, with the coincidence of numbers 33, geographical correlates with the I Ching....

Of course flesh is not stone, nor dug with steam shovels and picks but dessicated, shrunk, contracted to reveal hidden springs when all that mass is taken, hidden springs, tree roots and strata, so it’s hard to think itself unique to make a resonant chamber, the soul, each day carry down to the sea a little bucket of sand and bring back another of water up the shore, mold castles and shapes of the moon, if such a thing has shape. Each day without end change tack, little bucket down or experience digs out a little more solid, shaping, to imagine in a hundred years accelerated, destined, predestined times and persons, internal resonating in a chamber. Located nowhere at all, there exists a resonant cavity and the outward chamber of the mouth, it is the soul, none other, inside the throat, those caves and nasal beauties above, upper chamber where beauty lives and all sounds, vowels, stops take seat in production of the soul and echo relation, ventriloquism by pseudonym, not of a puppet master, though we should consider it, but a speaking through the present of the past. To include the imaginations of those times in familiar occupation, a back story explanation of symbol, called rehabilitation of myth, cites collective remembrance and recognition to unencumber history of the human.We call it myth, confined just to the Greek, but far and wide it is about something multidimensional in the religion of the symbolism of the leviathan’s fins, by which it propels itself from one end of the world to the other: as it were, effortlessly through the realms, making enormous progress all at once. This became the philosophy of Francis Bacon, for all say so. When the righteous translate words to oppose the fabrication inside Behemoth that drinks up Jordan through its nose or the occultist Böhme eating the flesh of behemoth or leviathan, le géant, as if it were flesh, whose devotees who claim to download light when they travel without their bodies, all the water of Jordan flows to that sea to take liberty that Leviathan will eventually do battle with the shor habar and slaughter it, so we understand the mode of worship of those righteous analogized to the shor habar. In one respect land- righteous superior to that of sea-righteous since the Everlasting did. These sanctified icons! To the rich of the golden age, but seek not to ward off enemies but to enforce them. Enforce our enemies upon us/ Bosch again. We ke hearing the words of St. Paul, Oh wretched man that I am, Who will deliver me? Whoever will may come. The demolition of that world hadn’t linearly transformed itself when Euclidean space was subjected to such indignity. To dream of these undergrounds and caverns as a child and traverse them too, before reading Tolkien, I explored natural caves, Schoolhouse Cave especially, a wholesome experience compared to the artifact Under Ground. In the use of ancient cities as habitations of myth, personally by their exploration, they all have undergrounds as modern cities do. Dante’s map of the fallen cosmos in human form is a picture of the eye. He takes the physical world as an allegory of the spiritual. Whoever’s on the beanstalk that swaps their cow for a wonder stick or a bee that sings and a fiddle that plays pop-tunes, that is the good cow, Milky White, whose wonders appear in the tales. As puppoets write pop tunes, climb the beanstalk or cut it down, or exchange a cow for seeds that grow to climb to the gates of heaven, get up to find Jack Bommb, that moonlight idol Temple serves all who climb the sky. The ReSet The end of Isaiah is like the last of Beethoven’s String Quartets, an incomprehension at the height of words. So it comes that leviathan, thought mostly as an image in Job 41, is a profounding prophetic. Each facility of this Futurist playbook completes this era of one hundred years, opposed by the fakta of a continent and an age apart from the original. The formalist theories of faktovivi however bypass controls to code hidden propitiatory work, read correctly. The first priority remains accentuated real material gathered either first hand or culled from documentary sources. It doesn’t help that Mr. Jonathan Swift thought his best book, A Tale of a Tub claimed to make a game of Truth and Moral Honesty in the three churches, which transfers to our subjects as behemoth, leviathan and taurobolium. Theology never had too much humor. Order, Swift again, among all the horses’ heads, asses, donkeys and bull, those “good worthies one can name, I hold to not draw so far afield as to omit the ass with a horn, meaning the critic who browses so tightly upon these leaves as to improve the fruit” of A Tub, (Oxford, 47). Swift is the ass with the horn. We have no such apology. The Word Never Occurring Not to be literal about the word never before occurring, the word has been a bugaboo of critics for years, measured by those two heroic phrases that never before existed according to Google, I mean “bright extensive will” and “word written in earth’s center,” which before publication gave only a search result for Dogen’s Extensive Record: A Translation of Eihei Koroku. But now after, when we search for the “word written in Earth’s center,” and “all earth, surface, sky and core finds peace,” or “when Sons of God blind in all their beams then enter creation,” this poem written a half century ago enters before the internet concordance began. How could there not have been results in English before that for such obvious phrases? “The BRIGHT EXTENSIVE WILL” “the word written in earth’s center” sound like they would be prominent in the lexicon. “The matter of its making” had passing resemblance with the title by Dorothy Sayers, The Mind of the Maker. The reference to “Sons of Elohim who bow from out the sky” occurred likewise nowhere at all, as did not “concentrated and blind in all their beams,” then enter creation. Poets are full of hapax so much that it could be many volumes of Hopkins and Yeats. Instead of thinking these phrases original, the digital concordance enables us to search if they are. A skew of search results and a dementia of memory also occurs, with misdirection and priority. Who ever will, the deliverer is not in the poemation, not in the ekphrasis, not in the legomen. Just to make that clear. A step further, the statement of art as piety as the defender of culture against outsiders and a representation of the gods who protect that culture through work proceeds neither way, to know the gods through the art or the art through the gods. What is the American shield of the gods if we know Homer’s Achilles’s shield of the Greeks. Never forget none of these ever existed, they are all words supported in the legemona with the emblematic décor of the Palladium, in Homer’s case, the statuary representation of divine protector, in that case of Troy. Antipas, Bishop of Pergamon, ordained by the Apostle John during the reign of the Nero, was martyred when the cast out demons worshiped there, by being burned in a brazen bull-shaped altar. In the capital of the new south, with the coincidence of numbers 33, geographical correlates with the I Ching....
