A new sun is born

a new sun is born is a short poem written by Hexillith on June 13th 2016 as a reaction to the previous day's mass shooting in Orlando, Florida. It is finished and hosted in blog format here. The blog should be read starting with the most recent post.

The poem contains allusions to Aristophanes' speech in Plato's Symposium, as well as to the New Testament, specifically Mark 9:44.
