The haiku contains 3 lines, the first containing 5 syllables, the second cotaining 7 syllables, and the third also containing 5 syllables. The definition of "evangel" is good tidings. In addition, the Evangel is also the Gospel, one of the first four books of the New Testament. The original version of this haiku collection served as an assignment for my English class. It was identical in every way with the exception that the names of the Children weren't mentioned. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ The Evangel of Humanity FIRST CHILD - Rei Ayanami Thin, fair, red-eyed soul, Empty, silent, with a life Unlike any seen. SECOND CHILD - Asuka Langley Sohryuu Fire; brimming, searing, Beauty and power composed In a cracking shell. THIRD CHILD - Shinji Ikari Mind, heart, and soul closed, Running from reality, Wishing for his life. FOURTH CHILD - Touji Suzuhara Strong, bold, and caring, But for the others, for her, Was broken, yet lives. FIFTH CHILD - Kaworu Nagisa The life of all lives, The Angel who learned the truth, Found its life in death. __________________________________________________________________________ CREDITS ------- Design / Planning / Writing / Revising / Editing ------------------------------------------------ James Grabowski - Sephirius Endymion, Rei Ikari - sephirius@japan.crosswinds.net __________________________________________________________________________ Endymion's Portal - http://www.crosswinds.net/japan/~sephirius __________________________________________________________________________ "Man is descended from one alone.
