Great Regulars: The crucifix, on the other hand,

flowing with "blood/and grief", has been "hacked not carved", to show "your body's/concentration on pain". But it is the small hidden Kristus with "lowered eyelids" that has the greater power. The pains of the flesh hold no panic compared to the fear of forgiveness.
