“Nevermore to delay life
End the beginning
Devise the bravest perpendicular
To the squarest circle.
Assume the ending.
If He lies broken who broke Him?
Assume your innocence!
If you are broken who broke you?
Assume His innocence!
The perpendicular of heaven and death!
Now the wounded may rest.
If He—on your breast.
If you—on His brest.
Rest, rest.”
