Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion
Written by Gregory Boyle, S.J.[more]
"The world is too much with us; [more] late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers
Little we see in Nature that is ours
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune
It moves us not.
Great God! I'd rather be a Pagan suckled in a creed outworn
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn. "
