… ‘Crippled soul,’ do you say? Looking at him
from the mind’s height; ‘limping through life
on his prayers. There are other people
in the world sitting at table
contented, though the broken body
and the shed blood are not on the menu’
‘let it be so,’ I say. ‘Amen and amen.’
R.S. Thomas (1913-2000).
