THE FINAL SAY: SAINT PAUL
by Monty Gilmer
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
SAINT PAUL
to the Galatians (in the Bible: Galatians 3:28-29, King James Version)
He knew that each fish
was given paradise
in its slimy skin,
in its little gasping kiss of the sea.
ANNE SEXTON
From "The Saints Come Marching In"
in The Awful Rowing Toward God (1975)
