Charles Davis sends this story from BBC NEWS:“More than one million copies of a poetry anthology by Pope John Paul II have been published in 20
languages, the Vatican has announced.
The pontiff first published the poems in 2003 but the print run was expanded after sales topped 300,000 in his
native Poland.
An extract from his poem, The Stream, reads as follows:
If you want to find the source
You have to go up, against the current
Tear through, seek, don’t give up.
You know it must be somewhere here.
Where are you, source?
Where are you, source?
The work includes drawings by Michelangelo and two pages of photocopied text in the Pope’s handwriting.”
