22 Speptember, A Chesterton Calendar

SEPTEMBER 22nd

So with the wan waste grasses on my spear, 
I ride for ever seeking after God.  
My hair grows whiter than my thistle plume 
And all my limbs are loose; but in my eyes  
The star of an unconquerable praise: 
For in my soul one hope for ever sings, 
That at the next white corner of a road  
My eyes may look on Him.  
 
'The Wild Knight.'

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
