In our darkness we who presume to declare it are liars—Charlatans, groping quacks at the best. Will the sun never dawn?

Fain would I linger near thee Amid the poppies red, Forget this world, and hear thee As one among the dead, Amid the daffadillies, Red tulips and white lilies, Where daisies’ tears are shed

Unblushing, the old Serpent rears its crest to the sky; unashamed, the Beast and the Scarlet Woman chant the blasphemous litanies of their fornication. Surely the cup of their abominations is nigh full ! Surely we who await the Advent of our bles- sed Lord are emboldened to trust that this fren- zy of wickedness i…
