Religion

Luke 10. And a certaine Priest comming that way looked on him and passed by.

by Richard Crashaw 1613–1649

Religion

Why dost Thou wound my wounds, ô Thou that passest by
Handling & turning them with an unwounded eye?
The calm that cools thine eye does shipwrack mine, for ô!
Vnmov'd to see one wretched, is to make him so.
