TO A MEDIEVAL MADONNA IN A MODERN DÉCOR
Though not with plume or quill
these lines are written, still,
Madonna, words are said
in ball-point, liquid lead,
or tapped out by degrees
on Olivetti’s[1]
keys
that glorify your name
and magnify your fame
as when your monks of old
on vellum in clear gold,
crimson and cobalt blue
spelled out their love for you.
Sister Maryanna Childs OP
The Catholic World.
July 1957
