    Text
    When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood / as a child, I imagined as a child. But as soon as I / was a man, I put away childishness. / Now we see in a glass, even in a dark speaking: but then / shall we see face to face. Now I know imperfectly: / but then shall I know even as I am known. / Now abideth faith, hope, and love, even these three: but / the chief of these is love. / I Corinthians. 13, 11-13 / Translated by William Tyndale (1484-1536) / Illustration of St. Paul preaching to the Corinthians, Reprinted from Tyndale's New Testament (1534) by permission of The British Library Board / Poems on the Underground / 1,000 YEARS OF POETRY IN ENGLISH / Books and Posters are on sale at The London's Transport Museum, Covent Garden 0171 379 6344 - Poster design by Tom Davidson
