Killing and quickning, bringing down to hell
And up to heaven in an houre;
Making a chiming of a passing-bell.”

and you are not serving what I serve,
nor am I serving what you have served,
neither are you serving what I serve.
To you your religion, and to me my religion!”

Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
