Two Sayings, The
Two savings of the Holy Scriptures beat
Like pulses in the Churchs brow and breast;
And by them we fi in our u
And, heart deep in salt-tears, do yet e
Gods fellowship as if on heavenly seat.
The first is JESUS WEPT,--whereon is prest
Full many a sobbing face that drops its best
And sweetest waters on the record sweet:
And one is where the Christ, denied and sed
LOOKED UPOER. Oh, to render plain
By help of having loved a little and mourned,
That look of sovran love and sovran pain
Which HE, who could not si suffered, turned
On him who could reject but not sustain !
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
