Excerpt from The Chaplain, Vol. 19: June, 1962 Romans, the thunder of that ham mermg prose, and the tenacity of speaking only and always of God's godliness - that I shall not forget. Or the winter when I read Dante in the Temple Classics, little books with Italian on one page and English on the other, in the subway back and forth from Cambridge, a right good place for reading the Inferno and the Purgatorio, and not unlikely for even the Paradiso, if in no other way at least by contrast. There in the roaring where speech was im possible, the vast vision Oi order was spelled out by which Christian faith attested its grasp on the meaning of life. That we have lost it in the mad scramble of our sectarianism and the fury of industrial production leaves us the poorer though we think we are richer. But that vision, no longer tenable, I shall not forget, for without something like it, some thing larger and profounder, we shall not have peace nor a world sensible enough to seek it seriously.
