Pax, by D H Lawrence (1885-1930) All that matters is to be at one with the living God To be a creature in the house of the God of Life. Like a cat asleep on a chair, At peace, in peace And at one with the master of the house, with the mistress, At home, at home in the house of the living, Sleeping on the hearth, and yawning before the fire.
