“And rays of truth you cannot seeAre flashing thro' Eternity--”
“Days of gaiety – rays of deity. Infinite joy – eternal boy.”
“But deep this truth impress'd my mind: Thro' all His works abroad,The heart benevolent and kindThe most resembles God.”
“Even the stars we seeare only a kind of memory,already dead for years.”
“The Future is, of all things, the thing least like eternity. It is the most temporal part of time--for the Past is frozen and no longer flows, and the Present is all lit up with eternal rays.”
“The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.”
