Levertov Poem Avowal
Ever since my first reading of this tribute to George Herbert I have
cherished it as it is, but I wish I could have asked Denise Levertov
whether she would agree that two more words of her final line would convey
an even deeper meaning. She writes "no effort earns" and I would ask her to
consider a parenthesis "or loses" that all-surrounding grace.

All the metaphors operate in the same direction. If you wish to achieve
grace, the message is don't try. Be open and willing. It is like a
surgeon keeping his hand still by not trying to keep it still.
