Thus when a barber and a collier fight, The barber beats the luckless collierwhite; The dusty collier heaves his ponderous sack, And big with vengeance beats the barberblack. In comes the brick-dust man, with grime o'erspread, And beats the collier and the barberred: Black, red, and white in various clouds are tost, And in the dust they raise the combatants are lost.

Selected Quote

A hymn of glory let us sing; New songs throughout the world shall ring: Christ, by a road before untrod, Now rises to the throne of God. The holy apostolic band Upon the Mount of Olives stand; And with his followers they see Their Lord's ascending majesty. To them the angels drawing nigh, 'Why stand and gaze upon the sky? This is the Savior,' thus they say; 'This is his glorious triumph day. 'Again shall ye behold him so As ye today have seen him go, In glorious pomp ascending high, Up to the portals of the sky.' O risen Christ, ascended Lord, All praise to thee let earth accord, Who art, while endless ages run, With Father and with Spirit one.

I have devoted my energies to a study of the Scriptures, observing monastic discipline, and singing the daily services in church; study, teaching, and writing have always been my delight.
