"He held me and wept"
I strongly identify with that man. I am that man.
That man is Simeon, holding the Christ Child, weeping with thanksgiving to God for the incredible gift of the child in his arms. A child, so long promised, now at last seen, now finally here.
Beautiful work, John. Thank you.

I didn't think of that Biblical allusion, perhaps, because of the autobiographical dimension
