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.
\nAnd here’s an excerpt from “Lepanto”<\/a>:<\/p>\n

White founts falling in the Courts of the sun,
\nAnd the Soldan of Byzantium is smiling as they run;
\nThere is laughter like the fountains in that face of all men feared,
\nIt stirs the forest darkness, the darkness of his beard;
\nIt curls the blood-red crescent, the crescent of his lips;
\nFor the inmost sea of all the earth is shaken with his ships.
\nThey have dared the white republics up the capes of Italy,
\nThey have dashed the Adriatic round the Lion of the Sea,
\nAnd the Pope has cast his arms abroad for agony and loss,
\nAnd called the kings of Christendom for swords about the Cross.
\nThe cold queen of England is looking in the glass;
\nThe shadow of the Valois is yawning at the Mass;
\nFrom evening isles fantastical rings faint the Spanish gun,
\nAnd the Lord upon the Golden Horn is laughing in the sun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
