Re: _Seven Last Words of Christ_

It seems a little late for a Good Friday, though I've translated as quickly
as I could before midnight the Seven Last Words; in addition,  I've trotted
out my Pascal song, which I do every Easter for the interested.  I've added
a third verse, and when I have the time and the technology, I'll put it on
my website in renewed form, in MP3 as I gradually change to that, with the
proper piano accompaniment.  If you can play .ra files, you can hear a
defective version of it at:

Mary and Mary come to anoint their lord.
The stone has been rolled away; the tomb is empty.

Halleluia, etc.

"Mary," says the angel, "why do you look
Among the dead for the living?  He isn't here."

Halleluia, etc.

"Mary, my beloved.  I have not yet
Risen to my father; do not touch me."

Halleluia, etc.
