Can you identify the two allusions Menashe uses in this poem?
What will be an ideal response?
- The first line of the poem is a direct quotation from the Lord’s Prayer (“Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”) found in Matthew 6:10. The second allusion is from Ecclesiastes 11:1 “Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.” Menashe, who is Jewish, significantly draws from both the Old and New Testaments—stressing the universality of his poem. The use of the obsolete “Thy” opening the poem announces that the language is borrowed from an older text.
