"The Prototype"
[24 Feb 1914]
... In the Duomo at Xmas Eve, midnight, There is another baby, a horrible little Baby—made of half warm flesh; Flesh that is covered with sores—carried By a half-broken mother. And I who am called heretic, And the only follower in Christ’s foot-steps Among this crowd adoring a wax doll —for I alone am worshiping the poor Sore baby—the child of sex igno- Rance & poverty. |
The Duomo.
