By Pavel Chichikov
In the Medresh it is read:
Shlomo's cedars built the first
Gan Eden's trees will build the last –
As Ezekiel also said
No sacrifice of blood can flow
But light from light from seed will grow
Run like unguent out of trees
Above the world, above the sea
Lissome branches lift and stir
Each watchman and each forester –
Cherubs hold their wings before
Their eyes unblinded and adore
