Horizons

David Rosenfield
From:   Journey a work in progress

He was one
who mingled with Jews
and who could quote
their "hidden" books
in the original Hebrew

He devoted himself
from the beginning

To the task of building
the Jewish question
on a religious foundation

And in giving the struggle
against Jewry
a Christian interpretation

True,
in an early work

He did express the view
that "Extirpation
of Jewry by violence
is not worthy
of a serious discussion"

Explaining that "If the systems
of the Spanish Inquisition
and the Russian pogroms
did not manage it, it will certainly

Be impossible to achieve
in the Twentieth century."
