First Line: "taught by no priest, but by our beating hearts"
Last Line: That makes the many one
Variant Title(s): Faith To Each Other
Subject(s): Brotherhood;religion; Theology
Taught by no priest, but by our beating hearts:
Faith to each other; the fidelity
Of men whose pulse leaps with kindred fire,
Who in the flash of eyes, the clasp of hands,
Nay, in the silent bodily presence, feel
The mystic stirrings of a common life
That makes the many one.
