Mambrino (Tranl. by D. Jones)
@ "And what a surprising discovery the authorship is. Bernard Wall was a close friend of Fr. Jean Mambrino who I think died only a few years before Bernard. Bernard often spoke of Fr. Mambrino and showed me some of his letters. I knew he had met David but I did not know - until now - that Fr. J.M. knew David's work as thoroughly as he did; nor that he admired David's writing as intensely as he did.
@ "The Bard of the Passion, he calls him. No one else has said just that. The more one reads David the more it becomes clear that one cannot get very far into the heart of his writing without appreciating the depth and long continuance of his contemplation of the Passion. And the poem becomes highly perceptive when one understands what it is about and that it was a poem written for David. And evidently David by his translation of the poem responded to Mambrino's acute perception."
@ Includes the original AMS of the poem by Fr. Mambrino (in French, inscribed to DJ and dated August 1956) along with a TCS to DJ which reads: "Dear David, Yesterday afternoon was delightful. I wish I could thank you. Here is at least the promised poem, as a vanishing echo of a secret I cannot tell... God bless you. Jean."
