Verse

New born in swaddling clothes, I,in this manger,lay for you to see and digest,this new day- ...still unsaid aloud,unread or incunabula- hours old,perhaps by grandchildren.. re-told Note The earliest printed books are called incunabula ( Latin for swaddling clothes).They resembled the manuscipt they superseded.

Amazing Brian, that the incunabula is the earliest printed books, and means swaddling clothes. Hebrews 10:7-9 states that Jesus came in the volume of a book to do God's will. An amazing personification you have here. Moses
