Veronica's Napkin by William Butler Yeats
The Heavenly Circuit; Berenice's Hair; Tent-pole of Eden; the tent's drapery; Symbolical glory of thc earth and air! The Father and His angelic hierarchy That made the magnitude and glory there Stood in the circuit of a needle's eye.
Some found a different pole, and where it stood A pattern on a napkin dipped in blood.
