Quotes

• “Far up the dim twilight fluttered Moth-wings of vapour and flame: The lights danced over the mountains, Star after star they came. The lights grew thicker unheeded, For silent and still were we;Our hearts were drunk with a beauty Our eyes could never see.”
• “A young man who had been troubling society with impalpable doctrines of a new civilization which he called "the Kingdom of Heaven" had been put out of the way; and I can imagine that believer in material power murmuring as he went homeward, "it will all blow over now." Yes. The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet.”
• “In ancient shadows and twilightsWhere childhood had strayed,The world’s great sorrows were bornAnd its heroes were made. In the lost boyhood of JudasChrist was betrayed.”
• “Let thy young wanderer dream on:Call him not home.A door opens, a breath a voiceFrom the ancient room,Speaks to him now. Be it dark or brightHe is knit with his doom.”
• “We may fight against what is wrong, but if we allow ourselves to hate, that is to insure our spiritual defeat and our likeness to what we hate.”
• “Seek on earth what you have found in heaven.”
