More From Phyllis McGinley

Not every legend is a myth, some are flesh and blood. some legends walk among us, but they aren’t born, they’re built. legends are made from iron & sweat, mind and muscle, blood and vision and victory. legends are champions, they grow, they win, they conquer. there’s a legend behind every legacy, there’s a blueprint behind every legend.
Winning Blood Sweat
The heart of christianity is a myth which is also a fact. the old myth of the dying god, without ceasing to be myth, comes down from the heaven of legend and imagination to the earth of history. it happens - at a particular date, in a particular place, followed by definable historical consequences. we pass from a balder or an osiris, dying nobody knows when or where, to a historical person crucified (it is all in order) under pontius pilate. by becoming fact it does not cease to be myth: that is the miracle.
Heart Osiris Order
There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.

The wheel of time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the age that gave it birth comes again.
Memories Long Leaving
The wheel of time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the age that gave it birth comes again. in one age, called the third age by some, an age yet to come, an age long past, a wind rose in the mountains of mist. the wind was not the beginning. there are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the wheel of time. but it was a beginning.
Memories Past Wind
History has its truth, and so has legend. legendary truth is of another nature than historical truth. legendary truth is invention whose result is reality. furthermore, history and legend have the same goal; to depict eternal man beneath momentary man.

This act of total surrender is not merely a fantastic intellectual and mystical gamble; it is something much more serious. it is an act of love for this unseen person, who, in the very gift of love by which we surrender ourselves to his reality also makes his presence known to us.
