C.S. LEWIS
1898-1963

Four loves to humanity
friendship,affection
eros and charity
under your cross,
you write with clarity
and not indifference
or disparity to impress
you have retold Bunyan's
Pilgrim's Progress,
and to express Dante's
manifold creation's story,

From outer space novels
man also fails his idolatry
and in his brilliant rants
in Screwtape Letters
about the human race
we are no betters,
in Narnia and other tales
humans are but two-faced
and in the Great Divorce
a bus from 'Purgatory'
without a chance in Hell
to Heaven's glory,of course.
