I confess when reading these words I immediately heard in my head Epistle (The Word of the Lord) from Leonard Bernstein's MASS, lyrics by Schwartz: You can lock up the bold men, Go and lock up your bold men and hold men in tow You can stifle all adventure for a century or so. Smother hope before it’s risen, watch it wizen like a gourd, But you cannot imprison the Word of the Lord; no you cannot imprison the Word of the Lord! ...

Very timely, considering that the Lutheran Old Testament lesson for this coming Sunday is the entire book of Jonah, including the parable of the gourd.
