Description

ANTIQUE DESIDERATA POEM. FOUND IN OLD ST. PAULS CHURCH BALTIMORE DATED 1692. Send me your offer. Almost every copy of Desiderata carries the claim that the original was found in Old Saint Paul’s Church in Baltimore in 1692. It’s comforting to believe that some truths are universal, that the beauty of the human spirit is unchanging, ever present, and inviolate. A poem rife with applicability in today’s world being found in a church so many centuries ago supports those comforting beliefs. That it’s an unsigned piece makes it all the more beautiful: one sees these inspirational words as the anonymous writer’s gift to the world. His humility kept him from signing it . . . and maybe there’s another lesson for us in that.
