Excerpt from Earlier Poems

On Certain Gospel Paintings

The story of an alien race; minute,
Painstaking portraiture of Syrian, Jew,
Greek, Arab, Roman: if a tragedy,
Yet strange; if an apotheosis, still
Too fleshly (ay, too blood-stain'd) to believe! -
Has it become but this? That saviorship
Saved, then, the world a scant two thousand years;
Not now nor yet tomorrow? Yesterday
Was Christ Christ; and today but Josephs's son?
Just people painted: these are thieves; and he
A malefactor! Nay, no paradise
Nor thin transfiguration spoils the spell
Of sweat and dust; of some mere agony
Of wasted passion, of a thwarted soul
At best but disillusion'd. And the poor,
Deluded, disappointed Semite folk
Turn back to toil with heavy heart, take up
Alone and wholly comfortless the grim,
Interminable burden. That is all;
Just people painted: an Intense, sweet life
