“The beauty that men seek is half a dream-- Where'er we wander, yet it lies afar; It touches with its wand a setting star, It stirs the ripple of an ebbing stream. And though we run beyond the dawning gleam, Or kneel to worship at an altar bright, We may not know the soul of its delight, Or more than marvel at its palest beam.” KnowsMenMaySoulDreamRunningLyingStarsHalfBeautyWorshipDelightSettingSettingsWanderStreamsAltarsBeamRippleGleamAfarWands Book:The Rainbow Chaser: And Other Poems ...

“If the Church would have her face shine, she must go up into the mount, and be alone with God. If she would have her courts of worship resound with eucharistic praises, she must open her eyes, and see humanity lying lame at the temple gates, and heal it in the miraculous name of Jesus.” IfsEyeFacesLyingHumanityJesusNamesChurchWorshipPraiseCourtShiningHealTemplesGatesHer EyesMiraculousLameEucharisticAlone With God Author:Frederic Dan Huntington
“I worship nothing. Not a good lie nor a dark one. If nature is proof of God's amazing creation then I have truly seen the light, and the light is black. Nature is genius at its most cruel and savage. No benevolent God could have come up with such an outrage.” IfsLightLyingBlackDarkAtheismCreationGeniusWorshipCome UpProofSavagesOutrageBenevolentProof Of GodGood Lies Author:Gary Numan
