Unknown to her the rigid rule, The dull restraint, the chiding frown The weary torture of the school, The taming of wild nature down.
More Quotes from John Greenleaf Whittier:
I pray for faith, I long to trust I listen with my heart, and hear A Voice without a sound 'Be just, Be true, be merciful, revere The Word within thee God is near 'A light to sky and earth unknown Pales all their lights a mightier force Than theirs the powers of Nature own, And, to its goal as at its source, His Spirit moves the Universe. 'Believe and trust. Through stars and suns, Through life and death, through soul and sense, His wise, paternal purpose runs The darkness of His providence Is star-lit with benign intents.' O joy supreme I know the Voice Like none beside on earth or sea Yea, more, O soul of mine, rejoice, By all that He requires of me, I know what God himself must be.... I fear no more. The clouded face Of Nature smiles through all her things Of time and space and sense I trace The moving of the Spirits wings, And hear the song of hope she sings.John Greenleaf Whittier

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.
