“a world in which no sparrow falls unknown, but-so much for the neatness of our diagrams-it is the Father's will that sparrows fall.”

“The sparrow still falls.”

“There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow.”

“Only God sees the sparrow fall, but even God doesn't do anything about it.”

“The Robin and the Sparrow"Said the robin to the sparrow,“I should really like to know,Why these anxious human beingsRush about and worry so.”Said the sparrow to the robin,“Friend I think that it must be,That they have no Heavenly Father,Such as cares for you and me.”

“The universe is forever falling apart --No need to push the button,It collapses at a finger's touch:Why, it barely hangs on the tail of a sparrow's eye.The universe is so much eye secretion,Hordes leap from the tipsOf your nostril hairs. Lift your right hand:It's in your palm. There's room enoughOn the sparrow's eyelash for the whole.A paltry thing, the universe:Here is all the strength, here the greatest strength.You and the sparrow are oneAnd, should he wish, he can crush you.The universe trembles before him.”
