“Nature best teaches how to pray, and how to reverence all the gifts the Almighty has given us. She is like a vast outspread handkerchief, embroidered with God's eternal name, on which we may dry alike our tears of sorrow and of joy; she turns weeping into ecstasy, and fills our hearts with speechless, quiet reverence and resignation.” HeartMayJoyTurnsNamesGivenTeachTearsPrayingSorrowQuietEternalDryEcstasyReverenceAlmightyWeepingResignationSpeechlessHandkerchiefsTears Of Sorrow Book:The Letters of Robert Schumann Source: The Letters of Robert Schumann
“Darkling I listen; and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Called him soft names in many a muse' d rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath; Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy!” Has BeensArtSoulSeemsPainTimeDiesNamesHalfRichAirQuietBreathsCeaseEcstasyMuseRhymeMidnightPouringNo Pain Author:John Keats
