"He instinctively can find the shining greatness of our American culture and does a good job of highlighting it (although he also does have those rare lapses when he writes about hockey, but that is something caused by impurities in the Eastern waters or something)." Erik Keilholtz

Wednesday, September 08, 2004 The Victorian poetFr. John Banister Tabb is recalled on the day he was received into the Catholic church by EL Core.
The poet's dedication of his collection Lyrics I particularly like:
TO THE MEMORY OF MY MOTHER
THE COWSLIP
IT brings my mother back to me,
Thy frail, familiar form to see,
Which was her homely joy;
And strange, that one so weak as thou,
Should lift the veil that sunders now
The mother and the boy.
LONG, long before the Babe could speak,
When he would kiss his mother’s cheek
And to her bosom press,
The brightest angels standing near
Would turn away to hide a tear—
For they are motherless.
