Inspired by the 1897 - 1901 diaries of J. Walter Bassett of Mt. Carmel, Connecticut which I donated to Sterling Memorial Library, Manuscripts and Archives Division, Yale University in 2013.

Composed at Thanksgiving, 1976,
Yale Divinity School
You
can’t saygrace
if you
don’t feel
gratitude.
And
in this
old land
“I paid
for it, so I
deserve it”
is an
ongoing
national
attitude.
Sure,in this
old land
“I paid
for it, so I
deserve it”
is an
ongoing
national
attitude.
we mortals
croon,
‘cause we
walked on
the moon,
minutely
divining its
latitude.
But
till time
comes to
end ]
or
there's no
more to
spend
there'll be
no
real change
in
our
habitude.

no

in
our
habitude.
the trouble
with grace
is that
new time
and space
is
perennially
bloating
our
vanitude.
What we
need
right now as we
sit down to chow
is a mirror,
to check out
our
finitude.
