Adelaide Crapsey - The CrucifixionAdelaide Crapsey - The Crucifixion
Work rating: Medium


And the centurion who stood by said: Truly this was a son of God. Not long ago but everywhere I go There is a hill and a black windy sky. Portent of hill, sky, day`s eclipse I know; Hill, sky, the shuddering darkness, these am I. The dying at His right hand, at His left, I am the thief redeemed and the lost thief; I am the careless folk; I those bereft, The Well-Belov`d, the women bowed in grief. The gathering Presence that in terror cried, In earth`s shock in the Temple`s veil rent through, I; and a watcher, ignorant, curious-eyed, I the centurion who heard and knew."
