Fifty Candles for the Holy Pyromaniac
“... O, Source of uncreated light,
The Father’s promis’d Paraclite!
Thrice Holy Fount with Heav’nly Love inspire;
Come, and thy Sacred Unction bring
To Sanctifie us, while we sing!
“...Refine and purge our Earthly Parts;
But, oh, inflame and fire our hearts!
Our Frailties help, our vice control;
Submit the senses to the soul;”
John Dryden,
from ‘Veni Creator Spiritus’
