The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want him for long.
Notes1] Hemingway attaches this note to the title: "The title `Neo-Thomist Poem' refers to temporary embracing of church by literary gents -- E.
H." Possibly this alludes to T.
S. (Tom) Eliot.
The poem parodies Psalm 23, which begins (verses 1-3): The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want; he makes me to lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
