...good part of his 43 years among South Africa's underdog black men. "My religion," he says, "knows no color bar." He likes to quote Paul's Epistle to the Colossians: "There is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free, but Christ...
Morton, however, is very successful in his defense of the contemplative vocation and in his scorn for the modern Godless civilization. "The Quickening of St. John the Baptist" likens the members of a cloistered order to the unborn Baptist waiting in his mother's womb for the coming of Christ's mother, Mary, with the announcement of the anticipated birth of God, the Son. The speechless Trappists and Carmelites are "sealed in the dark and waiting to be born;" they are the sentinels that the world must post to hear "the first far drums of Christ...
Technically, Grosz ranges widely.

In 1947, Lang was let off lightly by a de-Nazifi cation court after he had protested that the Nazis had bullied him into joining the party. Last week, the part of Christ went to 37-year-old Anton Preisinger. The change had nothing to do with Lang's Nazi past (ex-Nazi Preisinger was also fined by the same court), but because Lang doubted whether, at 58, he could stand the physical ordeal...
