If I were called in
To construct a religion
I should make use of water.

—Philip Larkin

And I, if I were asked the same, would have to insist that my religion include pitchers, to pour the water or to hold it ready to answer any coming thirst; as well as graceful niches to guard the pitchers, beautiful and utilitarian as this—or to hold other things the heart might have need of.
