Mystical Nativity (detail), Sandro Botticelli

WAS it the silence always around them?

Was it the stars, their nightly companions?

Was it the lambs and the darkened canyons?

Why of all men was it only them?

If we could, would we hear the music?

Would we bend to earth? Would we fall in wonder?

If we could, would we have the courage?

To see what was not for better men?
