Wolfram's Dirgeby Thomas Lovell BeddoesIF thou wilt ease thine heartOf love and all its smart,Then sleep, dear, sleep;And not a sorrowHang any tear on your eyelashes; Lie still and deep,Sad soul, until the sea-wave washesThe rim o' the sun to-morrow, In eastern sky...

Late Again, Mr. Shakespeare

Posted on May 03, 2008
25by William Shakespeare Let those who are in favour with their stars, Of public honour and proud titles boast, Whilst I whom fortune of such triumph bars Unlooked for joy in that I honour most; Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread, But as the marigold at the sun's eye, And in themselves their pride lies buried, For at a frown they in their glory die...

Tuesday Night Sidney

Philomelaby Sir Philip SidneyTHE Nightingale, as soon as April bringethUnto her rested sense a perfect waking,While late-bare Earth, proud of new clothing, springeth,Sings out her woes, a thorn her song-book making; And mournfully bewailing, Her throat in tunes expresseth What grief her breast oppresseth,For Tereus' force on her chaste will prevailing...

Friday Morning Shakespeare

Posted on April 25, 2008
24by William Shakespeare Mine eye hath played the painter and hath stelled,Thy beauty's form in table of my heart,My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,And perspective it is best painter's art.For through the painter must you see his skill,To find where your true image pictured lies,Which in my bosom's shop is hanging still,That hath his windows glazed with thine eyes:Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done,Mine eyes have drawn thy shape, and thine for meAre windows to my breast, where-through the sunDelights to peep, to gaze therein on thee; Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art, They draw but what they see, know not the heart.

Department of Inexplicable Omissions

We learned recently that our denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, is issuing its new hymnal. This is a major event in Baptist circles, since the decision to reissue a hymnal is fraught with theological and cultural implications.The Southern Baptists have tried to avoid some of the anomalies that have turned up in other denominations' revisions to their hymnals, as this notice from the Baptist Press explains:Each song's suitability is based on these questions:-- Does the hymn speak biblically of God?-- Is it God-honoring?-- Does the hymn present a biblical view of man?-- Does the song help us to cover the depth and breadth of our theology?-- Does the hymn call us to true discipleship, service, repentance, witness, missions and devotion?-- Does the hymn speak biblically of salvation?-- Does it engage the whole person - allowing a person to express his deepest feelings?-- Does the hymn emphasize that Christ is the Christian's Lord, Master and King? (the idea of total submission)-- Does the hymn present an Americanized/Westernized gospel? (civil religion)-- Is there a balance with corporate and individual response in worship? (immanence and transcendence)-- Does the hymn speak biblically about the church, the body of Christ?More by way of explanation lives here...

Monday Morning Browning

Posted on April 21, 2008
Home-thoughts, from Abroadby Robert BrowningO, TO be in EnglandNow that April 's there,And whoever wakes in EnglandSees, some morning, unaware,That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheafRound the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,While the chaffinch sings on the orchard boughIn England--now!And after April, when May follows,And the whitethroat builds, and all the swallows!Hark, where my blossom'd pear-tree in the hedgeLeans to the field and scatters on the cloverBlossoms and dewdrops--at the bent spray's edge--That 's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,Lest you should think he never could recaptureThe first fine careless rapture!And though the fields look rough with hoary dew,All will be gay when noontide wakes anewThe buttercups, the little children's dower--Far brighter than this gaudy melon-flower!

We learned today, quite accidentally, that Mother Angelica (left) is celebrating her 85th birthday tomorrow, April 20.Although we make so secret of our doctrinal disagreements (as Baptists, we don't hold with apostolic succession, transubstantiation or Purgatory, for example), we do think that a woman who has devoted her life to serving Jesus Christ and working as a force for edification and morality deserves considerable respect...
