And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.”

and my legs crossed themselves like Christ’s.

Oh God,
he was a stranger,
was he not?”
