We have sacrificed poetry to clarity

Yeah. I imagine that's not all that was sacrificed. Apparently, Canterbury cathedral ("the cradle and headquarters of British Christianity") thinks the Lord is a wee bit verbose.

"Time Machines"

Visiting dusty old memories,
I travel to space on a wall
Captured in a web, my affections,
Embraced by frames in the hall
