Around St Blog's: October 2005 Archives

So saith Tom of Disputations:


Traditionally on this day, Catholic bloggers do something poorly that is worth doing.

I think I'll say a Rosary. I would also say "do some sewing," since that is something I do very poorly indeed, but I have the flu today, so I think I'll do needlepoint and housework.

And here's an excerpt from "Lepanto":

White founts falling in the Courts of the sun,

And the Soldan of Byzantium is smiling as they run;

There is laughter like the fountains in that face of all men feared,

It stirs the forest darkness, the darkness of his beard;

It curls the blood-red crescent, the crescent of his lips;

For the inmost sea of all the earth is shaken with his ships.

They have dared the white republics up the capes of Italy,

They have dashed the Adriatic round the Lion of the Sea,

And the Pope has cast his arms abroad for agony and loss,

And called the kings of Christendom for swords about the Cross.

The cold queen of England is looking in the glass;

The shadow of the Valois is yawning at the Mass;

From evening isles fantastical rings faint the Spanish gun,

And the Lord upon the Golden Horn is laughing in the sun.

For Dinka

I was at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception this weeked because my two oldest were part of a children's choir there.
Whenever I go there, I think of you because there is this lovely statue of St. Veronica, and I finally remembered to take a picture and share it.
