Because then we can watch
The overall arrangement of things
The movement of great souls in and out
As if each period acted a play
Within a play to catch
The conscience of the time
And bring it forward on a plate
Don’t sum me up we say
Don’t fence me in
But what can it mean the Inquisition
Grew up beside the great cathedrals
With their miraculous windows
Or that Raphael was painting Madonnas
While Luther was taking his vows
