St. Francis And The Sow Comments

This poem reflects a threefold beauty: that of St Francis, that of the sow and that of Galway Kinnell's respectful perspective.

I can accept the stunning beauty of flowers, but I have trouble seeing anything attractive about a sow. These animals revel in mud and dirt, and even St. Francis cannot redeem that. The saint was not always right.

Here’s a good one

Wonderful poem. Found it first in a book and am sharing it with others. Should be considered a classic,
