A Christmas Greeting from the Chesterton Institute

By Gloria Garafulich-Grabois December 19, 2023 G.K.C. Quote

THE WISE MEN

G. K. Chesterton

Go humbly…it has hailed and snowed…

With voices low and lanterns lit;

So very simple is the road,

That we may stray from it.

The world grows terrible and white,

And blinding white the breaking day;

We walk bewildered in the light,

For something is too large for sight,

And something much too plain to say.

The Child that was ere worlds begun

(…We need but walk a little way,

We need but see a latch undone…)

The Child that played with moon and sun

Is playing with a little hay.
