The Way of the Righteous

"@TB - Not sure if it really worked/works, but "seat of domes" is a sort of pun. Greek of seat is cathedra, so it refers to a domed church/cathedral."

Generally I like that kind of etymological slight of hand, but missed that entirely.  I guess Mark picked up on it, and I admit I'm generaly a dim bulb when it comes to interpretation.  But "seat" just seems so tame for this poem.
