THE CHILDREN OF EVE

 



                       To Thee do we cry, poor banished Children Of Eve.  To Thee we do

                        send up our sighs...

                                                    - 'Salve Regina' - Catholic Prayer


                       And her being dead was filling her like fullness for like a fruit all

                       of sweetness and dark, she too was full of her immense death.

                                                   - 'Rainer Maria' -  Orpheus, Eurydice, Hermes


                        But the day of the absolute is over, and we're in for the strange

                        Gods once more.

                                                   - 'Kangaroo' - D.H. Lawrence


                        What Lonely death am I to die/ in this cold region.

                                                  - Endymion - John Keats


                         The modern artist must live by craft and violence... These

                          artists, so called , whose work does not show this strife...

                         are uninteresting.

                                                - ' The New Sculpture' - Ezra Pound


                          Consider, brethren, what a wonderful honour this is. We

                          men are cared for by Angels... we who are so full of the

                          miseries of the flesh that we cannot bear to be in each other's

                          presence are watched without ceasing by these glorious beings.

                                               - ' On Devine Providence and the Guardian Angels'

                                                          - Gerard Manley Hopkins
