Trinity Church
“Funeral services will be held
at Trinity Church, Upperville,
at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 30.”
The source:
Today’s previous entry had
a different image of Rogers
with a quotation from
Wallace Stevens’s “The Rock.”
Stevens, though raised as
a Presbyterian, was a
secular poet.
Since Rogers’s funeral
is to take place in
a Christian church,
it seems fitting to
grant equal time to
a Christian poet of
at least equal stature:
