Reinterpreting the Christian Myth

Michael Peach

The Christian Myth (which symbolizes well
The human quest for individuation
And nature’s round of life, death and rebirth)
Should be regarded not as blessing Zion –
Both on the hill or in the sky – but Eden.
For only thus would God’s Creation gain
Its rightful place in urban Western minds.
