James Morris
Superior
At mass the sermon was about 'spiritual stock-taking.'
I thought about Grace and how it is based on The Divine Comedy.
I wondered if I was the only person to make that connection.
I thought of Gabriel and how he avoids a quotation from Browning
Because it would be above his audience's head.
'The mass is ended'
I walked home like James Duffy.
(Do you get that little allusion Reader?)
See Dubliners.
