from Peter Maurin's easy essay "Building Churches": "Maurice Barres used to worry about the preservation of French Cathedrals, but Charles Peguy thought that the faith that builds Cathedrals is after all the thing that matters. Moscow had a thousand churhes and people lost the faith."
To apply what Maurin wrote here to poetry . . . if I cultivate tenderness toward my destiny, then I'll find the reflections of poets (and others) more valuable.
right on, fred! you've said something i didn't know i wanted to hear. Hits the spot. And may also tell us something about our own souls, when our suburban churches are so hideous...
