About Mascall
On Dispensing with Q
E. L. Mascall
Here lies poor Streeter, stiff and stark,
Whose corpse foul Farrer slew,
For, though in life he made his Mark,
In death he's lost his Q.
Let exorcists from far and wide
Placate his troubled spook,
Which else will range the Broad beside
The shade of Proto-Luke.
O base and disrespectful hand!
O thrice unhallowed rites!
To break such mossy coffins and
To quench such ancient lights!
Pi in the High (London: The
Faith Press; New York: Morehouse-Barlow Co., 1959), p. 48:
