"Lo,
It is a people that shall dwell alone"; Numbers 23: 9
So,
The taint of sin or grief shall not be known.
"Ho,
Every one that thirsts, come to the waters": Isaiah 55; 1
Go,
"Outside the camp", to be God's sons and daughters;
No,
Purpose of God is ever overthrown!
One of the parts of having a poetic bent of mind is seeing iambic pentameters, the English heroic line, where the authors never intended one! When my computer tells me, 'Hang on a moment while we sign you out' a wee exclamation mark flashes above my brain because its an iambic pentameter line, even if not worthy of inclusion in some verse. So I notice the line in Numbers when reading the portion last Saturday.
Around the Tower of London; the Beefeater guide, and one of the resident ravens.
