Wednesday’s reading in Malcolm Guite’s, The Word in the Wilderness was The Passionate Man’s Pilgrimage by Sir Walter Raleigh. The first few lines describe the dress and symbology associated with a pilgrim:
Give me my scallop shell of quiet,My staff of faith to walk upon,My scrip of joy, immortal diet,My bottle of salvation,My gown of glory, hope’s true gage,And thus I’ll take my pilgrimage.
