I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
I arise today...
the problem of writing is always the problem of who you were...
—M. John Harrison
Neil Gaiman's essay for SimCity 2000.
I remember reading it when I played the game, back in the 1990s.
