"He is the Way.
Follow Him through the Land of Unlikeness;
You will see rare beasts, and have unique adventures.
He is the Truth.
Seek Him in the Kingdom of Anxiety;
You will come to a great city that has expected your return for years.
He is the Life.
Love Him in the World of the Flesh;
And at your marriage all its occasions shall dance for joy."
W. H. Auden

I love the fact that I am not the only one who enjoys good religious poetry as opposed to the mindless dribble that is usually forced upon the discerning palate. But then again Auden wasn't a believer so why write about a religious figure who was only a moral teacher? S.askins
