Brian Strand Poet Personification

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resembled the manuscipt they superseded.

John Freeman January 22, 2010 at 6:46 PM 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
