In order to arrive at what you are not, you must go through the way in which you are not.

In order to possess what you do not possess, you must go by the way of dispossession.

Where shall the word be found, where will the word / Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence.

We see the light but see not whence it comes. O Light Invisible, we glorify Thee!

And would it have been worth it, after all, Would it have been worth while, After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets, After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor - And this, and so much more? -

To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life.

The eastern light our spires touch at morning, The light that slants upon our western doors at evening, The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight, Moon light and star light, owl and moth light, Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade. O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!
