2                want him for long.

Notes

1] Hemingway attaches this note to the title: "The title `Neo-Thomist Poem' refers to temporary embracing of church by literary gents -- E. H." Possibly this alludes to T. S. (Tom) Eliot.
The poem parodies Psalm 23, which begins (verses 1-3):
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want;
he makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
