"Every Christian is, of course, both Pilate and Caiaphas.” ~ W.H. Auden
“The Jews! The Jews!” the malcontented cry,
When, feeling disappointed with their lot
And looking for a scapegoat, they espy
A substitute to blame for all their rot.
Their spit-flecked lips re-echo “Crucify!”;
They think that they’re the saviors in this plot.
