  1. Ardis, I’ve been thinking about this couplet a lot since you posted it. On the one hand, I don’t know that I want to think that faith is at all fear-based. On the other hand, realizing that this was published during WW2, I guess it’s unrealistic, even unavoidable, not to see faith as a necessary response to such fear.

  2. Poetry works on us like this, doesn’t it, Gary? I’d rather believe that fear doesn’t play a role in all faith, or that uncertainty or loss or hope are not the same as fear. But if fear does say a prayer — and as you note, WW2 gave plenty of opportunity for both — I like the image.

    Poetry here doesn’t often get much comment. Thanks for thinking about this and coming back to share ideas.

    (I hope it’s okay to tell other Keepa readers this. Gary is no stranger to poetry.)
