“God needs men, not creatures
Full of noisy, catchy phrases.
Dogs he asks for, who their noses
Deeply thrust into—To-day,
And their scent Eternity.

Should it lie too deeply buried,
Then go on, and fiercely burrow,
Excavate until—To-morrow.

Yes, God needs…! I wish I could be such a Hound of God—Domini canis—and could persuade all my readers to enter the Order.”

Karl Barth, The Epistle to the Romans, p. 24
