47<p><span class="line">Abraham, you must know or hope that <a href="boar.html">God</a></span><span class="line">will not allow your son to die; you must know</span><span class="line">that this is a test, but then why</span><span class="line">are you so bent on Isaac’s destruction?</span><span class="line">Look at your eyes; there is more than fear</span><span class="line">there. I see in your eyes desperation,</span><span class="line">a manic passion to do right by your God</span><span class="line">whom you are not able to see or know.</span></p>
48<p><span class="line">Am I too late? I <a href="i-am.html">will try</a> to stay</span><span class="line">your old hands, the knife clenched</span><span class="line">within them, intent on ending life.</span></p>
49<p><span class="line">Will you hear my small voice amongst the creaking,</span><span class="line">or will it be the chance bleating of a passing ram?</span></p>
