Still falls the Rain
At the feet of the Starved Man hung upon the Cross.
Christ that each day, each night, nails there, have mercy on us Edith Sitwell

Still falls the Rain
Dark as the world of man, black as our loss
Blind as the nineteen hundred and forty nails
Upon the Cross.Edith Sitwell
Still falls the Rain
Still falls the Blood from the Starved Man's wounded Side:
He bears in His Heart all wounds, those of the light that died,
The last faint spark
In the self-murdered heart, the wounds of the sad uncomprehending dark...Edith Sitwell
And how high is Christ's cross? As high as the highest heaven, and the throne of God, and the bosom of the Father that bosom out of which forever proceed all created things. Ay, as high as the highest heaven! for if you will receive it when Christ hung upon the cross, heaven came down on earth, and earth ascended into heaven.
Charles Kingsley
Christ is the genius of love and as such the most diametric antipole to Jewry, which is the incarnation of hate. ... Christ was the first anti-Jewish opponent of stature. ... The Jew is the lie that became flesh. He nailed Christ to the cross, and thus for the first time in history nailed the eternal truth to the cross.
Joseph Goebbels
With the cry I wake;and around me
The mother and child at her feet
Breathe peace in even whispers;
And the night falls heavy and sweet.Francis Turner Palgrave
