They yearn for what they fear for.

At the midpoint on the journey of life, I found myself in a dark forest, for the clear path was lost.

But the stars that marked our starting fall away. We must go deeper into greater pain, for it is not permitted that we stay.

As flowerlets drooped and puckered in the night turn up to the returning sun and spread their petals wide on his new warmth and light-just so my wilted spirits rose again and such a heat of zeal surged through my veins that I was born anew.

Here my powers rest from their high fantasy, but already I could feel my being turned- instinct and intellect balanced equally. as in a wheel whose motion nothing jars- by the Love that moves the Sun and the other stars.

The day that man allows true love to appear, those things which are well made will fall into cofusion and will overturn everything we believe to be right and true.

In judgement be ye not too confident, Even as a man who will appraise his corn When standing in a field, ere it is ripe.
