Advent Calendar #14

The purple hangings make me think
Of strong red wine, the finest red.
The wine God gave the world to drink
The day his only Son was wed.

    That's just plain beautiful.

      Thanks! I think it's a bit Housman-esque, if Housman had experienced a conversion. (There's a thought.)

      That is funny... I have also wondered in the past what a Catholic Housman would have been like.

      I agree completely with Molly - 'plain beautiful' and 'beautiful plainness' - plain in the sense of a plain meaning. This series makes me half-wish that Advent could be longer.

      That's very kind of you, Dominic. I'm so glad you like it!
