+ 5TH POEMS: Reassessment Of My Parents' Antagonistic Hostility To My Youthful Ambitions

In old age, I must take another

look at my lack of a superior academic degree

in ancient (that is, early Christian) History,

or Roman archaeology,

or even in observational astronomy:

parental opposition (wthout the least subtlety)

made each of these an impossibility.

But Christ our Lord, and His Blessed Mother

bestorwed a better calling on me:

this starward inclining poetry.
