“little drops of waterlittle grains of sandmake the mighty oceanand the pleasant land”

“Little drops of water,Little grains of sand,Make the mighty oceanAnd the pleasant land.So the little moments,Humble though they be,Make the mighty agesOf Eternity.So the little errorsLead the soul awayFrom the paths of virtueFar in sin to stray.Little deeds of kindness,Little words of love,Help to make earth happy,Like the Heaven above.”

“The little boy was looking for his voice.(The king of the crickets had it.)In a drop of waterthe little boy was looking for his voice.I do not want it for speaking with;I will make a ring of itso that he may wear my silenceon his little fingerIn a drop of waterthe little boy was looking for his voice.(The captive voice, far away,put on a cricket's clothes.)- The Little Mute BoyTranslated by William S. Merwin”

“This pure little drop from a pure little source was too sweet: it penetrated deep, and subdued the heart”
