Abraham & The Most Holy Trinity


So he lifted his eyes and looked

and  behold

three men were standing by him;

and  when he saw them

he ran from the tent door to meet them,

and  bowed himself to the ground.


And said, "My Lord, if I have now 

found favor in Your sight,

do not pass on by Your servant...


"Please let a little water be brought

and  wash your feet

and  rest yourselves under the tree.


"And  I will bring a morsel of bread

that you may refresh your hearts.

After that You may pass by

inasmuch as You have come to Your servant."


They said, "Do as you have said."

Sonnet XVIII


Shall I compare thee to a summer's day ?

Thou are more lovely and more temperate ,

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May ,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date :

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines ,

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd :

And every fair from fair sometime declines ,

By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd.

But thy eternal summer shall not fade ,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest ;

Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade

When in eternal lines to time thou growest.


   So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see

   So long lives this, and this give life to thee.
