“Science boasts of the distance of its stars; of the terrific remoteness of the things of which it has to speak. But poetry and religion always insist upon the proximity, the almost menacing closeness of the things with which they are concerned.

“Outcasts of war, misfits, rebellious souls, Seekers of some vague kingdom in the stars - They hide out in the hills and stir up trouble, Call themselves prophets, too, and prophesy, That something new is coming to the world, The Lord knows what! Well, it's a long time coming, And, meanwhile, we're the wheat between the stones.” KnowsWorldWellsLongWarSoulStarsLordTroubleLong TimeStonesKingdomsHillsProphetSomething NewVagueSeekersRebelliousWheatOutcastMisfits Author:Stephen Vincent Benet

“The humorous look of children is perhaps the most endearing of all the bonds that hold the Cosmos together. Their top-heavy dignity is more touching than any humility; their solemnity gives us more hope for all things than a thousand carnivals of optimism; their large and lustrous eyes seem to hold all the stars in their astonishment; their fascinating absence of nose seems to give to us the most perfect hint of the humour that awaits us in the kingdom of heaven.” GivingLooksChildrenSeemsEyeTogetherHeavenStarsPerfectHumilityHumourThousandHumorousAll ThingsDignityOptimismHeavyAbsenceKingdomsNosesCosmosFascinatingTouchingHintsKingdom Of HeavenAstonishmentCarnivalsEndearingSolemnity Author:Gilbert K.
