The hillside’s tidal waves of yellow-green Break downward into full-grown stalks of wheat In which a peasant, shouldering his hoe Passes along a snaking narrow path -- A teeming place through which his hard thighs press And where his head just barely stays above The swaying grain, drunken in abundance, Farm buildings almost floating on the swells Beyond which sea gulls gliding white in air Fly down on out of sight to salty fields, Taking the channel fish off Normandy, A surfeit fit for Eden i...

1Sheep graze along a plain in twilight quiet, Their earthward heads cropping dark clumps of grass, And near them, by a hedge where yellow leaves Grow golden in the evening’s mellowed air, Bent over yarn and needles knitting wool From these same sheep for mittens -- two young girls. Then suddenly one rises, shades her eyes And gestures to the other not to move, One arm crooked and one stretched out like the V’s Of geese intent on their archaic way Beyond the late fall cold toward Galilee. The o...

Low at the dusk’s far edge a blunted moon Descended from its fullness dimly glows. The night abides again on Chailly plain. A wandering shepherd labors in faint beams Till picket-fold and hut rise up once more From parts kept in a cart that no one sees. A raised staff comes back down to guide and goad Each sheep dissolved in darkness and a flock Shadowed by light but not the source of light. The bleating of a lost or straggling lamb Will go unheard in deep exhaustion’s sleep, For here is no G...

And though she soon would pa...

Across the blue horizon that divides Pale twilight skies from twilight-darkened earth A shepherd leads beneath a crescent moon His bending line of pliant moon-eyed sheep. The laggards and the leaders, nipped by dogs, Swirl from a formless mass of flesh and wool Toward faces separated yet the same, Soon lost to sun in starlight like the stars. The shepherd in procession grasps his staff, His right hand parting his cloak to show within His long blue shirt, a bishop’s under-robe, Literal symbols...

35First Do No Harm, or Eat What You Kill? Why Dishonesty Matters Most for LawyersLegal Ethics 17 (3): 382-400. 2014.There are significant differences in the way that regulators treat lawyers and doctors who are found dishonest. Paula Case has found that lawyers are much more likely than doctors to be struck off after a dishonesty finding. This article considers why dishonesty by lawyers is treated more seriously than that of doctors. Analyses of 'trust' in professions make comparisons between doctors and lawyers and invariably report that lawyers are less trusted, but on a flawed basis. However, in the contex…Read more
