 Awarded first prize in the Newfoundland Arts and Letters Competition in 1954, it became one of the most anthologized contemporary Newfoundland poems.In it, Elliott portrays the apostle Thomas's disillusionment the day after the Crucifixion.An apparently simple narrative is complicated by language, which underscores the naked humanity of all the characters, and by point of view, which, in locating the monologue on the day between Christ's death and his resurrection, shows it to be time-limited.
