“To-day the whole Christian world prostrates itself in adoration around the crib of Bethlehem and rehearses in accents of love a history which precedes all time and will endure throughout eternity. As if by an instinct of our higher, spiritual nature, there well up from the depths of our hearts, emotions which challenge the power of human expression. We seem to be lifted out of the sphere of natural endeavor to put on a new life and to stretch forward in desire to a blessedness which, though not palpable, is eminently real.” IfsWorldHumansWellsHeartRealWholeSeemsChristianSpiritualDesireNaturalChallengesEmotionExpressionHigherEternityInstinctDepthEndureChristmasAll TimeEndeavorSpheresAccentsNew LifeAdorationBlessednessBethlehemSpiritual Nature Author:James Gibbons
“There are many reasons for keeping a diary: to make a note of facts that one considers important; to open one's heart, to give vent to one's feelings, to make confessions; from the instinct of economy which sometimes encourages a writer to make good use of even the smallest crumbs of his life, so that he may have one more book to publish; or again from vanity and self- satisfaction.” GivingHeartMayImportantBookSelfSometimesReasonFactsUseFeelingsEconomyNotesInstinctSatisfactionVanityConfessionSmallestPublishDiariesCrumbsSelf-satisfaction Author:Alberto Moravia

“In placid hours well-pleased we dream Of many a brave unbodied scheme. But form to lend, pulsed life create, What unlike things must meet and mate: A flame to melt--a wind to freeze; Sad patience--joyous energies; Humility--yet pride and scorn; Instinct and study; love and hate; Audacity--reverence. These must mate, And fuse with Jacob's mystic heart, To wrestle with the angel--Art.” WellsHeartArtDreamFormHateEnergyHoursStudyHumilityWindPrideAngelBraveInstinctFlamesMatesReverenceSchemesScornJoyousMysticFreezeLove And HateJacobAudacityFusePlacid Book:Published Poems: The Writings of Herman Melville Source: Published Poems: The Writings of Herman Melville
