This poem was suggested in a flash by a paragraph in Michael McClure’s book, “Scratching the Beat Surface,” in which he quotes Ernst Haekel in the words used here as an epigraph, “Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.” He goes on to say, in explanation, “Haekel meant that the individual, in his growth from meeting of sperm and ovum at conception, lives out, in fetus, the growth and evolution of his tribe; that first he is an amoeba, then a colonial organism, then an invertebrate, then a lancet, then a fish, until at last he is a mammal and a human.” Reading this brought together for me various strands of thought into one clear picture, in harmony with the cosmological picture of the Muslim saints: “Man is a little cosmos, the cosmos is a big man.” And the view that Allah created the entire creation as a setting, as it were, into which He placed man, the jewel, the perfect diamond, as the seal and culmination of this creation. ________________________________________________
