If anyone should want to know my name, I am called Leah. And I spend all my time weaving garlands of flowers with my fair hands, t o please me when I stand before the mirror; my sister Rachel sits all the day long before her own, and never moves away. She loves to contemplate her lovely eyes; I love to use my hands to adorn myself: her joy is in reflection, mine in act.

Reason flies When following the senses, on clipped wings.

Infinite goodness has such wide arms.

Be as a tower firmly set; Shakes not its top for any blast that blows.

Behold a God more powerful than I who comes to rule over me.

The greatest gift that God in His bounty made in creation, and the most conformable to His goodness, and that which He prizes the most, was the freedom of will, with which the creatures with intelligence, they all and they alone, were and are endowed.

Hope not ever to see heaven. I come to lead you to the other shore; into the eternal darkness; into fire and ice.
