“The House Of Christmas”

“…this world is wild as an old wive’s tale,

And strange the plain things are,

The earth is enough and the air is enough

For our wonder and our war;

But our rest is as far as the fire-drake swings

And our peace is put in impossible things

Where clashed and thundered unthinkable wings

Round an incredible start.

To an open house in the evening

Home shall men come,

To an older place than Eden

And a taller town than Rome.

To the end of the way of the wandering start,

To the things that cannot be and that are,

To the place where God was homeless

And all men and women are at home.”

-G.K. Chesterton
