CLAUDIA. Judgement. It is finished. Now all we, all we who are here, have what we chose. This for some of you was your last chance; now the path is straight; now the love and the wrath come on a straight path. Once there was a voice crying in the wilderness, now there is only dark in the wilderness and a dying everlastingly, a slow perishing and less and less cherishing of comfort; at last the stress of the glory is past; this is hell. I am sent to say softly to anyone who hears— you would have it; have it then; hell is always there for the craving, and the having is easy. For me, the peace of the sword in the heart drives me out among other lives. Time was; time is past. Farewell; no prophet shall ever disturb you again, nor ever the pain of other hearts trouble you. You wanted your own; have your own; farewell.

The Three Temptations
A play for radio, by Charles Williams
JUDAS. O my lords, you are generous. It is not, indeed,
ReplyDeletethat I hate the man Jesus or am against reforms.
But we must wait God's kingdom in a peaceable style
and a moderate goodwill; is not that a better way?
