The Epic of Saul

The Epic of Saul is a religious poem by William Cleaver Wilkinson. Wilkinson was a Baptist minister, professor of theology and author, here telling the story of Saul in lyrical manner. Excerpt: "Saul knew it was Gamaliel's wont that spoke, His life-long wont of reverence for the law And trust in its omnipotence to serve Whatever need befell his nation—this, Rather than any fresh, fair-springing sense Of hope in him auxiliar to his own."
