Heaven above is softer blue Earth around is sweeter green; Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen Birds with gladder songs o'erflow Flowers with deeper beauties shine. Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine. (George Wade Robinson)

Heaven above is softer blue Earth around is sweeter green; Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen Birds with gladder songs o'erflow Flowers with deeper beauties shine. Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine.

And storied windows richly dight, Casting a dim religious light. There let the pealing organ blow, To the full-voiced choir below, In service high, and anthems clear As may, with sweetness, through mine ear Dissolve me into ecstasies, And bring all heaven before mine eyes. View quote
John Milton
I am alone, as though I stood On the highest peak of the tired gray world, About me only swirling snow, Above me, endless space unfurled; With earth hidden and heaven hidden, And only my own spirit's pride To keep me from the peace of those Who are not lonely, having died. View quote
Sara Teasdale

Jean-Paul Sartre
In our modern world we have seen inaugurated the reign of a dull bourgeois rationalism, which finds some inadequate reason for all things in heaven and earth and makes a god of its own infallibility. View quote

Summer ends now; now, barbarous in beauty, the stooks arise Around; up above, what wind-walks! what lovely behaviour Of silk-sack clouds! has wilder, wilful-wavier Meal-drift moulded ever and melted across skies? View quote
