So will I build my altar in the fields, And the blue sky my fretted dome shall be, And the sweet fragrance that the wild flower yields Shall be the incense I will yield to thee.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeEvery human feeling is greater and larger than its exciting cause-a proof, I think, that man is designed for a higher state of existence.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeHow wonderfully beautiful is the delineation of the characters of the three patriarchs in Genesis! To be sure if ever man could, without impropriety, be called, or supposed to be, "the friend of God," Abraham was that man. We are not surprised that Abimelech and Ephron seem to reverence him so profoundly. He was peaceful, because of his conscious relation to God.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
