Excerpt from The Loom of the Law
"Lord, what is man?" I know, of course, the orthodox answer, and the curious may read it in the 8th Psalm, but I am also familiar with his heterodox behaviour. He may have dominion over the works of God"s hands, but he has less than dominion over his own. I begin to doubt whether the true answer to the old inquiry can be summed up in an aphorism or woven into a sentence of poetic beauty. I have met man in the Courts of Zion and in the Courts of Criminal Jurisdiction; I have met him at the sacred places where men assemble together near by God"s Altar in adoration of the glory of the Cross, and in places of levity where the sacred and the serious are avoided; I have met him in the shadows of death and in the flare of the footlights.
