Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies.

No institution which does not continually test its ideals, techniques and measure of accomplishment can claim real vitality.

Then wilt thou not be loath To leave this Paradise, but shalt possess A Paradise within thee, happier far.

Sabrina fair, Listen where thou art sitting Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave, In twisted braids of lilies knitting The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair.

Of man's first disobedience, and the fruit/Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste/Brought death into the world, and all our woe,/With loss of Eden, till one greater Man/Restore us, and regain the blissful seat,/Sing heavenly muse

To adore the conqueror, who now beholds Cherub and seraph rolling in the flood.
