Each Carrying a Holy Book
Most people carry a vade mecum
Bound in leather, or in cloth-covered boards
Sometimes in paperback, the words being all
In a portable portal to the transcendent
For President Lincoln it was Macbeth
For Fermor The Oxford Book of English Verse
For some a Bible, for some the bad news of Marx
(For Yevtushenko, well, he carried himself)
And what is your book, in pocket or purse –
Dostoyevsky, perhaps, or a bit of verse?
