Rector Magnificus Married and monk amid joys of earth; cloistral hush and sophomore mirth. Dream of Gerontius and San Gerolamo. On the Canterbury Road, À la sainte terre saunter. Tuck away jolly, into an Aussie pie. A Friar’s folly, with a good red wine. Magister magistris, cling bells, swing sails. Scent the salted Tiber, a forbidden treat. Lady Poverty could be so sweet, for a Catholic in Anglican calfskins. Jordan Grantham
