Light of the World

("The Light of the World" by Holman Hunt hangs in the chapel of Keble College, Oxford)


 

We went to the knitting pattern building

to see the Light of the World.

The Fairisle College Authorities

have put up a notice

asking visitors to switch off the illumination

on leaving the chapel.

Given the present state of unease

in our crumbling civilisation,

I thought it might be unwise to comply.
