Quote of the day, 15 August: Joachim Smet, O.Carm.
No painter ever caught the magic of her going;
This was a matter of an inward growing,
Simple and imperceptible as thought.
It was no pageant wrought
Of sounding splendor, welter of gold bars
Of molten day, mad stars,
Flurry of quick angel’s winging,
Bursts of their laughter ringing
In wild bliss.
The single simple fact is this:
Love conquered at long last.
Her eager soul fled fast
With a great gladness like a song
Unto her Spouse above,
And her pure flesh would not be parted long
For sheer love.Father Joachim Smet, O.Carm.
