Following a Path Worn by Pilgrims
#Doctor Zhivago, p. 75
No one is first along a pilgrim road
Other footsteps began our journey for us -
To Bethlehem, Emmaus, Damascus –
Wherever the heart is centered in hope
Someone has stepped on this cactus before
And sat on that rock to pull out the spines
And muttered about the indignity
Of a holy man pestered with stickers
But humility is part of the search
Because
No one is last along a pilgrim road

DOCTOR ZHIVAGO as the title of a book should be italicized or underlined, and without those tiresome hashmarks, but I don't know how to make it work.
