Role in This Section
The universalizing poetic vision states or reports “Fury is not in me” at Isaiah 27:4 as a specific part of “Leviathan Falls and the Kept Vineyard Blossoms.”
Read It With
- Isaiah 27:1–6
Read Isaiah 27:4 with 27:1–6. By itself, “Fury is not in me” can be detached from the speaker, addressee, historical horizon, poetic movement, or outcome that gives it force. The complete unit establishes: A mythic sea enemy is punished, then a guarded, watered vineyard replaces the destructive vineyard song and fills the world with fruit.
Why It Needs Context
Keep the line with Isaiah 27:1–6. The universalizing poetic vision states or reports “Fury is not in me” at Isaiah 27:4 as a specific part of “Leviathan Falls and the Kept Vineyard Blossoms.” The literary form and this limit govern it: Leviathan Falls and the Kept Vineyard Blossoms does not authorize date-setting, conspiracy mapping, speculative geography, triumphal violence, or certainty that current headlines exhaust the imagery.
