overbegrudge

Updated: July 31, 2026

And, as I said to Master Jonathan this morning, it ain't fit to overbegrudge them 'ats gone Home." I think it was the naming of that Name, in which alone we vanquish the bitter victories of death, that recalled the verse which had been floating in my head ever since that evening at the Rectory: "Jesu, spes poenitentibus, Quam pius es petentibus! Quam bonus te quaerentibus! Sed quid invenientibus!"
