A Chestertonian mantra for 2008

rhapsody January 3rd, 2008

“An inconvenience is only an
adventure wrongly considered;
an adventure is an inconvenience
rightly considered.” –
On Running After Ones Hat,
All Things Considered, 1908

Note to myself: Keep this in mind.

A Christmas Carol

rhapsody December 25th, 2007

By G.K. Chesterton

(& copied from a post by Eric
@
Chesterton and Friends.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary’s lap,
His hair was like a light.
(O weary, weary were the world,
But here is all aright.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary’s breast,
His hair was like a star.
(O stern and cunning are the kings,
But here the true hearts are.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary’s heart,
His hair was like a fire.
(O weary, weary is the world,
But here the world’s desire.)

The Christ-child stood on Mary’s knee,
His hair was like a crown,
And all the flowers looked up at Him,
And all the stars looked down.

to Gilbert Magazine! :)

(From the cover):

A man’s soul is as full
of
voices as a forest, there
are ten thousand tongues
there like all the tongues
of the trees: fancies, follies,
memories, madnesses,
mysterious fears, and
more mysterious hopes. –

G. K. Chesterton

Gold Leaves

Lo! I am come to autumn,
When all the leaves are gold;

Grey hairs and golden leaves cry out

The year and I are old.

In youth I sought the prince of men,
Captain in cosmic wars,

Our Titan, even weeds would show

Defiant, to the stars.


But now a great thing in the street

Seems any human nod,

Where shift in strange democracy

The million masks of God.


In youth I sought the golden flower

Hidden in wood or wold,

But I am come to autumn,
When all the leaves are gold.
