who or what

[sad old git]

When fishes flew and forests walked and figs grew upon thorns, one moment when the moon was blood then surely I was born. Who am I?....

The Donkey (GK Chesterton).

Thank you dr b. Can you remember the rest of the poem or can you tell me where I can get it from? (rhetorical question,of course the internet) However thank you for your help.

[dr b]

When forests walked and fishes flew
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood,
Then, surely, I was born.

With monstrous head and sickening bray
And ears like errant wings—
The devil's walking parody
Of all four-footed things:

The battered outlaw of the earth
Of ancient crooked will;
Scourge, beat, deride me—I am dumb—
I keep my secret still.

Fools! For I also had my hour—
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout around my head
And palms about my feet.

Very many thanks for your quick answer dr b. All the very best to you.
