Officials of the La Divina Pastora RC Church in Siparia were yesterday forced to shut the main front gates of the church after fights broke out among beggars who had crowded the church yard seeking alms. - See more at: http://www.guardian.co.tt/archives/news/general/2009/04/11/g...

W zasadzie może być bez "old": church beggar, church pauper.

..an old-timer, sitting on church steps, begging. He....
It was autumn. The days were getting shorter, with the sun sparing its rays and the cold winds whipping the faces of the passersby. Only an old-timer, sitting on church steps, begging, appeared impervious to it all. HE was perhaps over 70, but no one knew his name, his identity hidden by his deeply-furrowed face and the shock of white hair covering his eyes. In his youth, he might have been a handsome man, lived, loved, and been loved, but now...

Churchdoor beggar
What is the gypsy bible like?
Unwritten, wandering, prophetic.
Whispered to hags by the silver night,
Illumined by midsummer moon.
It bears the aroma of crushed myrtle,
The rustling of woods, the starred cabala,
Graveyard’s shadow, deck of cards,
Churchdoor beggar, white chimera.
Who found this book?
We, the learned ones
Who search the junkyard of remembrance,
Driven by scent, and touched by portent,
Gazing beneath the senses and thought.
Along the valleys of fallen knowledge
The twisted myth flows river-like:
Not in life nor death but in between,
Witching for death, enchanting for life
Funeral tapers trickle waxen
Tears at night upon this volume.
In this book the dreams turn over
Like pages, moved by delusive guesses.
The flashing verses whirl about,
You won’t grasp what they conceal, as
It were: the poet’s martyrdom...
...something he must save...
The book melts away.

It bears the aroma of crushed myrtle,
The rustling of woods, the starred cabala,
Graveyard’s shadow, deck of cards,
Churchdoor beggar, white chimera.
Jaka, sądzisz, jest biblia cygańska?
Niepisana, wędrowna, wróżebna.
Naszeptała ją babom noc srebrna,
Naświetlila łuna świetojańska.
I aromat w niej, jak mirt rozdarty,
Leśny szum i gwiazdarska kabała,
Cień mogilny, pięćdziesiąt dwie karty,
Podkościelny dziad i mara biała.
Kto tę księgę odkrył? My uczeni,
Szperający w starzyźnie pamięci,
Węchem gnani i przeczuciem tknięci,
Pod spód zmysłów i myśli wpatrzeni.
Dolinami zapadłej wiedzy
Klechda kręta nurtuje jak rzeka:
I nie w życiu i nie śmierci, lecz między,
A na śmierć i na życie urzeka.
Na tę księgę woskowymi łzami
Kapią nocą żałobne gromnice,
W tej to księdze ułudnymi domysłami
Przewracają się sny jak stronice.
Migające wibrują wersety,
Nie uchwycisz, co się w nich ukrywa...
Coś jak gdyby: męczeństwo poety...
...że coś zbawić ma...
I księga się rozpływa.
