Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Earlier Poems On Certain Gospel Paintings The story of an alien race; minute, Painstaking portraiture of Syrian, Jew, Greek, Arab, Roman: if a tragedy, Yet strange; if an apotheosis, still Too fleshly (ay, too blood-stain´d) to believe! - Has it become but this? That saviorship Saved, then, the world a scant two thousand years; Not now nor yet tomorrow? Yesterday Was Christ Christ; and today but Josephs´s son? Just people painted: these are thieves; and he A malefactor! Nay, no paradise Nor thin transfiguration spoils the spell Of sweat and dust; of some mere agony Of wasted passion, of a thwarted soul At best but disillusion´d. And the poor, Deluded, disappointed Semite folk Turn back to toil with heavy heart, take up Alone and wholly comfortless the grim, Interminable burden. That is all; Just people painted: an Intense, sweet life About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
