“God said,--"Let there be light!" Grim darkness felt His might, And fled away; Then startled seas and mountains cold Shone forth, all bright in blue and gold, And cried--"'Tis day! 'tis day!" "Hail, holy light!" exclaim'd The thunderous cloud that flam'd O'er daisies white; And lo! the rose, in crimson dress'd, Lean'd sweetly on the lily's breast; And blushing murmur'd--Light!” SaidLightMightFeltWhiteDarknessSeaColdHolyMountainGoldDressesBlueRoseCloudsBreastsCriedLiliesGrimHailDaisiesCrimsonBlushingHoly LightBlue And Gold Book:The Poetical works Source: The Poetical works
“Pain is a holy angel who shows us treasures that would otherwise remain forever hidden; through him men and women have become greater than through all the joys of the world. It must be so and I tell myself this in my present situation over and over again. The pain of suffering and of longing, which can often be felt even physically, must be there, and we cannot and need not talk it away. But it needs to be overcome every time, and thus there is an even holier angel than the one of pain; that is, the one of joy in God.” MenWorldNeedsShowsPainJoySufferingFeltSituationForeverGreaterHolyMen And WomenAngelOvercomingLongingTreasureOften IsPresent Situation Author:Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“I studiously avoided all so-called "holy men." I did so because I had to make do with my own truth, not accept from others what I could not attain on my own. I would have felt it as a theft had I attempted to learn from the holy men and to accept their truth for myself. Neither in Europe can I make any borrowings from the East, but must shape my life out of myself-out of what my inner being tells me, or what nature brings to me.” MenFeltMy OwnAcceptingHolyShapesEuropeEastAvoidedTheftBorrowingHoly Man Author:Carl Jung

“Grant us safe lodging, and holy rest,” Mrs. Grogan was saying, “and peace at last.” Amen, thought Wilbur Larch, the Saint of St. Cloud’s, who was seventy-something, and an ether addict, and who felt that he’d come a long way and still had a long way to go.” WayLongStillsLastsFeltHolySafeSaintCloudsGrantsSeventiesAddictLong WayAmenLong Way To Go Author:John Irving
“Everyone had some defect, or body or of mind: he thought of all the people he had known (the whole world was like a sick house and there was no rhyme or reason in it), he saw a long procession, deformed in body, warped in mind, some with illness of the flesh, weak hearts or weak lungs, and some with illness of the spirit, languor of will, or craving for liquor. At that moment he felt a holy compassion for them all. …The words of the dying God crossed his memory: Forgive them, for they know not what they do.” PeopleKnowsWorldMindHeartLongReasonWholeMomentsBodySpiritHouseFeltMemoriesCompassionKnownSawsDyingHolyWeakSickForgivingIllnessFleshWhole WorldThat MomentRhymeDefectsLungsCravingLiquorProcession Author:W.

“I lay in that tub on the seventeenth floor of this hotel for-women-only, high up over the jazz and push of New York, for near unto an hour, and I felt myself growing pure again.
