Sivu 91 - For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
Sivu 146 - Everything harmonizes with me, which is harmonious to thee, O Universe. Nothing for me is too early nor too late, which is in due time for thee. Everything is fruit to me which thy seasons bring, O Nature: from thee are all things, in thee are all things, to thee all things return.
Sivu 95 - The earth is a point, not only in respect of the Heavens above us, but of that Heavenly and Celestial part within us: that mass of flesh that circumscribes me, limits not my mind; that surface that tells the Heavens it hath an end, cannot persuade me I have any...
Sivu 96 - Heavens it hath an end, cannot persuade me I have any: I take my circle to be above three hundred and sixty; though the number of the Ark do measure my body, it comprehendeth not my mind: whilst I study to find how I am a Microcosm, or little World, I find my self something more than the great.
Sivu 16 - Divinity, sturdy doubts and boisterous Objections, wherewith the unhappiness of our knowledge too nearly acquainteth us. More of these no man hath known than my self, which I confess I conquered, not in a martial posture, but on my Knees.
Sivu 52 - The Morning-watch. O Joyes ! Infinite sweetnes ! with what flowres, And shoots of glory, my soul breakes, and buds ! All the long houres Of night, and Rest Through the still shrouds Of sleep...
Sivu 53 - And spirits all my earth! hark! in what rings, And hymning circulations the quick world Awakes and sings! The rising winds, And falling springs, . .. Birds, beasts, all things Adore Him in their kinds; Thus all is hurled In sacred hymns and order; the great chime And symphony of Nature. Prayer is The world in tune, A spirit-voice And vocal joys Whose echo is heaven's bliss.
Sivu 53 - In what Rings, And Hymning Circulations the quick world Awakes, and sings; The rising winds, And falling springs, Birds, beasts, all things Adore him in their kinds. Thus all is hurl'd In sacred Hymnes, and Order, The great Chime And Symphony of nature.
Sivu 63 - For the will of God is the highest rule of justice; so that what he wills must be considered just, for this very reason, because he wills it. When it is inquired, therefore, why the Lord did so, the answer must be, Because he would. But if you go further, and ask why he so determined, you are in search of something greater and higher than the will of God, which can never be found.
Sivu 34 - Poetry. And certain it is that, in our plainest homeliness, yet never was the Albion nation without Poetry.
