Poetic Prophecy in Western LiteratureJan Wojcik, Raymond-Jean Frontain Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press, 1984 - 222 lappuses In this collection of twelve essays, the editors attempt to define the poet as prophet in Western literature and to select the general attributes of prophetic writing. The essays focus, in the main, on the prophetic tradition in the English-speaking world, as well as on a sufficient number of writers outside that tradition, to prove that all prophetic writing shares common features. |

64. lappuse - There stand, if thou wilt stand ; to stand upright Will ask thee skill ; I to thy Father's house Have brought thee, and highest placed : highest is best : Now show thy progeny ; if not to stand, Cast thyself down ; safely, if Son of God : For it is written, He will give command Concerning thee to his angels ; in their hands They shall uplift thee, lest at any time Thou chance to dash thy foot against a stone.
