Intermezzo

I'm a faithful First Things reader. Don't understand nary a word but enjoy it nonetheless. If you're in the mood for a little good poetry, check these out:

• Distance—the poet expresses what most of us feel about our Christian walk but have such a difficult time articulating it.
• Termination for Cause—When Divine Justice seems neither Divine or Just.
• What good is it that girls need never march to war?—A Roman poet expressed his horror of abortion.
