“The way to heaven is too steep, too narrow for men to dance in and keep revel rout. No way is large or smooth enough for capering rousters, for jumping, skipping, dancing dames but that broad, beaten, pleasant road that leads to hell. The gate of heaven is too narrow for whole rounds, whole troops of dancers to march in together.” MenWayEnoughWholeTogetherHeavenHellDancingDanceRoundsPleasantDancerMarchGatesBroadsTroopsSmoothBeatenJumpingSteepDamesGates Of Heaven Author:William Prynne

“All human love is a faint type of God's; An echoing note from a harmonious whole; A feeble spark from an undying flame; A single drop from an unfathomed sea: But God's is infinite; it fills the earth And heaven, and the broad, trackless realms of space.” LoveHumansWholeGodEarthHeavenSpaceLove IsSeaTypeInfiniteNotesGod LoveFlamesRealmsBroadsSparksHarmoniousHuman Love Author:Cormac McCarthy
