“Awake,
my lute, and struggle for thy part
With all thy art.
The
crosse taught all wood to resound his name,
Who bore the same.
His
stretched sinews taught all strings, what key
Is
best to celebrate this most high day.”—British poet George Herbert, “Easter,” in The Temple (1633)
The
image accompanying this post is the painting The Resurrection of Christ, by Raphael (1499-1502).
