Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Father Damien: An Open Letter to the Reverend Doctor Hyde of Honolulu No golden dome shines over Damien´s sleep: A leper´s grave upon a leprous strand, Where hope is dead, and hand must shrink from hand, Where cataracts wail toward a moaning deep, And frowning purple cliffs in mercy keep All wholesome life at distance, hath God planned For him who led the saint´s heroic band, And died a shepherd of Christ´s exiled sheep. O´er Damien´s dust the broad skies bend for dome Stars burn for golden letters, and the sea Shall roll perpetual anthem round his rest: For Damien made the charne-house life´s home, Matched love with death, Damien´s name shall be A glorious benediction, world-possest.
