+ 1ST POEMS: θυσίαν αἴνεσις, After Matthew 28:9 And Revelation 22:16, And In Reply To F. I. Tyutchev
Christ is the Bright And Morning Star
makes my soul's days and nights complete.
And like you, Brother Fyodor: with the Holy Magdalene
and the Myrrh-bearers, I cling to Jesus' miraculously healed feet.

Author's Notes/Comments:
The third and fourth lines acknowledge F. I. Tyutchev's Orthodox Faith; and it allues to his poem, "O, My Prophetic Soul," (translated by John Dewey), especially its final line.
