The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) of the Christian Bible is an English translation released in 1989. It is an updated revision of the Revised Standard Version. There are multiple editions of the NRSV: some Protestant, some Catholic, some with the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books (these sometimes called the NRSV Common Bible), and some that use British spelling and grammar.

“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
