Eliora: This Dark and Angry Man

This man talked, wrote and lived like he was possessed by the devil. He was ‘demon possessed’ according to his family members and friends and indeed many biographers. He was a dark, foreboding and angry man, who hated Jews and the Jewish God, but championed the devil of the Bible and, in doing so, rejected his family’s history of Jewish Rabbis. He railed against the political and religious establishment.

Some excerpts of his poems grew darker over time.
