• Is This the Face?

  

  Jesus on the Cross, Rembrandt

  Is this the Face that thrills with awe
        Seraphs who veil their face above?
  Is this the Face without a flaw       
        The Face that is the Face of Love?
  Yea, this defaced, a lifeless clod,   
  Hath all creation’s love sufficed
  Hath satisfied the love of God,       
       This Face the Face of Jesus Christ

  Christina Rossetti
