“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”

“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are a hundred ways to kneel and kiss the ground”

“Today, like every other day, we wake up emptyand frightened. Don't open the door to the studyand begin reading. Take down the dulcimer.Let the beauty we love be what we do.There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”

“But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.”

“Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score; then to that twenty, add a hundred more; a thousand to that hundred: so kiss on, to make that thousand up a million. treble that million, and when that is done, let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun!”

“Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.”
