Thought of the Week
“I have had it with perfection...”
—Fr. Kilian McDonnell, Benedictine monk
Perfection
I have had it with perfection
I have packed my bags
I am out of here
Gone.
...
Perfection straineth out
the quality of mercy,
withers rapture at its
birth.
Hints I could have taken -
even the perfect chiselled form of
Michelangelo's David
squints.
The Venus de Milo
has no arms
the Liberty Bell is cracked.
