The Land of Unlikeness

Thanks to KP for pointing me toward this. Williams spends time on some of John of the Cross’ Christmas poems. Here’s an excerpt:

The birth of Jesus, in which that power which holds the universe together in coherence takes shape in history as a single human body and soul, is an event of cosmic importance. It announces that creation as a whole has found its purpose and meaning, and that the flowing together of all things for the joyful transfiguration of our humanity is at last made visible on earth.
