Shakespeare And Jesus
(A Summary Of Perspective)
Shakespeare said our last scene would be
A type of “second childishness,” senility
Or Futility personified... And to oblivion
“sans everything”
we’d go.
“Not so,”
Said another Man (more distinguished than he)
Who spoke of a “second birth,” immortality
Or Purpose glorified... And of a kingdom
where everything
was so.
Said one, the world’s a stage
On which we slowly die...
And One, the world’s a cage
From which we soon... fly.
