“Crocefisso No. 9” by William G. Congdon
Neat-laid baldrics sling scabbard clad swords
Jeweled medallions and full-plumed chapeaus
Silken capes and white gloves all compose
The regalia of knights who kneel towards
The bright light of the true Lord of lords
Serving Charity to those in need
Pledging Unity of their devotion
And Fraternity through their promotion
Of a Patriotism by deed
That ensures free expression of creed

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Actually, the Cajun side of my family is Catholic, so I’ve heard sporadic mention of the good things the K o C do–but I need to either read up, or ask my cousin for more info.

Powerful stuff that would sit comfortably with Arthurian legend let alone the sitting thus in reality.
