faith

And is it true? and is it true?
The most tremendous tale of all,
Seen in a stained-glass window's hue,
A Baby in an ox's stall?
The Maker of the stars and sea
Become a Child on earth for me?

I like that. It gives me chills. In a good way. :)

Yes. Do you know the full poem? I had completely forgotten it is all about Christmas...which is why I didn't quote the whole thing. :) I think we probably had it read at a chapel Christmas service or something - I have vague memories which may also involve TS Eliot's Journey of the Magi...'I should be glad of another death.'

*shudders*

Our chaplain had good taste.
