Shaver Christmas Letter 1966

A fragment of Leonard Cohen's
"Lines From My Grandfather's Journal"
wants into the Shavers'
Christmas greeting this year.
It could be the theme of a modern hymn
to the Incarnation.
What is good news to 1966's bad news?
What would Love Incarnate
look like in 1967?
What is it, in our time, to let this mind be
in you which was also in Christ Jesus?
Has the Montreal poet a piece of it
in his fragment...
"Let priests secretly despair of faith:
their compassion will be true"
