[PW] They have no hands...

[Franco, Adrienne]

I think I found some helpful information.
Try going to google books (http://books.google.com <http://books.google.com/> ) and type in:
"deliver me" +hands +christ +poem
This retrieves 6 publications.

Below is information from one of these books.  Unfortunately, only a very limited preview is available.

Joseph Campbell: a critical biography - Page 67
by Angeline Agnes Kelly, Norah Saunders - 1988 - 192 pages
'Raven's Rock' is an 'aisling' or vision poem following the historical Gaelic 
... They have no hands that would deliver me - 0 Christ of Nazareth! no hands. ...

The University of Michigan is the only library I could find which owns this title.  (In fact, they are the ones who provided the book to google books for digitization).  U. Michigan's call number is:
828 C188O S26 
I believe it is located at Ann Arbor Campus.  Record in catalog says "Buhr Shelving Facility".
Reference to this poem appears to be on page 67.

Subject: [PW] They have no hands...

My mother used to quote a poem (usually ironically), of which the
only two lines I remember were:

"They have no hands who would deliver me
  O Christ of Nazareth, no hands"

I can't now track it down. Any thoughts?
