Happy Easter
Today we celebrate the Roman-Christian equivalent of Nowruz, the festivity that welcomes spring and with it the resurrection of life.
Look from this height whereon we find us
Back to the town we have left behind us,
Where from the dark and narrow door
Forth a motley multitude pour.
They sun themselves gladly and all are gay,
They celebrate Christ s resurrection to-day.
For have not they themselves arisen?
From smoky huts and hovels and stables,
From labor s bonds and traffic s prison,
From the confinement of roofs and gables,
From many a cramping street and alley,
From churches full of the old world s night,
