“The formed stone, the visible crucifix,
The dressed altar, the lifting light,
LIght
Light
The visible reminder of Invisible Light.”
T S Eliot (1934)

"The red curtain reeks of iron.
The altar’s marble thighs
are streaked with light—
a butcher’s block
waiting for the knife
of the next hymn." Sylvia Plath (1965)
