.....I lifted this from a junk mail advertisement for watches
---high-end watches....I've been wrestling with the notion of text::
..::what constitutes a text?
and.... would a robot be able to ask the question:: what constitutes a text?

Proclamation of the Incarnation

The whole life of Christ
was a continual passion;
      others die martyrs,
          but Christ was born a martyr.
He found a Golgotha
    (where he was crucified)
             even in Bethlehem,
where he was born;
   for, to his tenderness then,
      the straws were almost as sharp
          as the thorns after;
      and the manger as uneasy at first,
                as his cross at last.
His birth and his death
       were but one continual act,
          and his Christmas Day
             and his Good Friday
               are but the evening
                 and morning
                   of one and the same day.














                                                       JOHN DONNE

Lemaitre's ontological riddle

As far as I can see,
 such a theory remains
entirely outside any metaphysical or religious question . . .
 It is consonant with Isaiah speaking of the hidden God,
 hidden even in the beginning of the universe.






                                              Fr.  George Lemaitre
