He drew a circle that shut me out—
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!
Tinkling Cymbals refers to 1 Corinthians 13:1 where Paul begins to explain how important it is to have charity or love toward all men. I wanted to talk about things political, economical, maybe comical so I picked the title because I felt like political ideas, though important, are worthless if they're not coupled with other more important things like love, integrity, and honor. Hopefully some of those more important things show up here too.
