I didn't mean it for _this_ poem. I've just noticed solar imagery seems to be
more common in English than (say) what I remember from Spanish church. What
irks me most is when [sVn] = [sVn] seems to be absolutely taken for granted,
without even conscious use of metaphor. [I have not been entirely fond of most
of my religion teachers...] :p
