“God should be most where man is least: So, where is neither church nor priest, And never rag nor form of creed To clothe the nakedness of need,- Where farmer folk in silence meet,- I turn my bell-unsummoned feet; I lay the critic's glass aside, I tread upon my lettered pride, And, lowest-seated, testify To the oneness of humanity; Confess the universal want, And share whatever Heaven may grant. He findeth not who seeks his own, The soul is lost that's saved alone.” MenWantNeedsShouldMaySoulFormHumanityTurnsLostHeavenChurchSilenceFeetSharePrideUniversalLaysCriticsFolksGlassesSavedOnenessPriestsGrantsFarmersBellsCreedsLowestRagsQuaker Book:Among the Hills, and Other Poems Source: Among the Hills, and Other Poems

“long journeys are strange things: if we were always to continue in the same mind we are in at the end of a journey, we should never stir from the place we were then in: but Providence in kindness to us causes us to forget it.
