Dietrich Bonhoeffer se gedig
If you’re a beast in the pulpit but a coward in your neighborhood, something has gone wrong. —Matt Chandler
Dietrich Bonhoeffer se gedig
In April 1943 neem die Gestapo in Duitsland vir Dietrich Bonhoeffer gevange. Uit die tronk skryf hy Letters from a Prison wat na die oorlog ‘n topverkoper word. Daarin is ook ‘n gedig aan sy verloofde, Maria von Wedemeyer: “New Year 1945.” Die derde vers is bekend – eintlik beroemd
Should it be ours to drain the cup of grieving
Even to the dregs of pain,
At thy command, we will not falter,
Thankfully receiving all that is given
By thy loving hand.
