The horizontal view the poet takes as well as the vertical, both being presented as dots in depth - the star and the child - adds to the cosmic dimension of the event of the birth of Jesus. The stare of the Father looking at his Son, represented in the star from the opposite end of the universe, illuminates what has happened: God from afar has drawn near to the earth in the greatest mystery ever: The Word became flesh. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. This wonderful poem of the Nativity has moved me.
