But of all of them, I love this one of the Irish family best. Everything about this photo moves me -- the fruitful generosity, the beautiful children, the testimony to a genuine Catholic faith, even the stone house reminds me of Ezra Pound's poem "Usura":<br /><br />With usura hath no man a house of good stone<br />each block cut smooth and well fitting<br />that design might cover their face,<br />with usura<br />hath no man a painted paradise on his church wall<br />with usura, sin against nature,<br />is thy bread ever more of stale rags<br />is thy bread dry as paper,<br />with no mountain wheat, no strong flour<br />with usura the line grows thick<br />with usura is no clear demarcation<br />and no man can find site for his dwelling.<br />Stonecutter is kept from his tone<br />weaver is kept from his loom<br />Usura slayeth the child in the womb<br />It stayeth the young man’s courting<br />It hath brought palsey to bed, lyeth<br />between the young bride and her bridegroom<br /> CONTRA NATURAMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
