To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Your Christ out-pity mine ? Why, yours but let the sinner bathe His feet; Mine raised her to the level of his heart. . . And then Christ's way is saving, as man's way Is squandering and the devil take the shards!
But this man kept for sacramental use The cup that once had slaked a passing thirst; This man declared: "The same clay serves to model A devil or a saint; the scribe may stain The same fair parchment with obscenities, Or gild with benedictions; nay, " he cried, "Because a satyr feasted... in this wood, And fouled the grasses with carousing foot, 28 MARGARET OF CORTONA Shall not a hermit build his chapel here And cleanse the echoes with his litanies ? The sodden grasses spring again why not The trampled soul ? Is man less merciful Than nature, good more fugitive than grass ? " And so if, after all, he had not died, And suddenly that door should know his hand, And with that voice as kind as yours he said : "Come, Margaret, forth into the sun again, Back to the life we fashioned with our hands Out of old sins and follies, fragments scorned Of more ambitious builders, yet by Love, The patient architect, so shaped and fitted That not a crevice let the winter in Think you my bones would not arise and walk, This bruised body (as once the bruised soul) Turn from the wonders of the seventh heaven As from the antics of the market-place ?
