Tabb Centenary Year X Five quatrains by Rev. John B. Tabb. Whisper
Close cleaving unto silence, into sound September 1893 (p. 361, Quatrains: Miscellaneous) Stilling the Tempest
’Twas all she could:—The gift that Nature gave, April 1895 (p. 362, Quatrains: Miscellaneous) The Bubble
Why should I stay? Nor seed nor fruit have I. October 1891 (p. 358, Quatrains: Miscellaneous) Sleep
What art thou, balmy sleep? September 1892 (p. 360, Quatrains: Miscellaneous) Silence
A sea wherein the rivers of all sound August 1894 (p. 364, Quatrains: Miscellaneous) [“Stilling the Tempest”: the poem skillfully amalgamates the Gospel stories of the sinful woman washing the Lord’s feet with her hair, Luke 7:36-50, and of the Lord Jesus calming the waves, Mark 4:35-40.] The references (page number and section) are to The Poetry of Father Tabb, ed. Francis A. Litz, Ph.D. (New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1928). All of Tabb's poems published here in the Father Tabb Centenary Year were originally published before 1923. Biblical references link to the New Advent Bible comprising Bishop Challoner's edition of the Douay-Rheims Bible (English) and the Sixto-Clementine edition of the Vulgate (Latin), since they are the versions which Father Tabb would have used as a Catholic. The year 2009 is the centenary of the death of Rev. John Banister Tabb, November 19, 1909. Lane Core Jr. CIW P Sun. 02/15/09 04:45:22 PM |
