And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age
First, I asked the Bolshevik: "What are you fighting for?" "For the Soviet government," he told me. I asked the same of the Lithuanian. He answered, "for my religion."

When I asked the German, he told me: "I am fighting for the fighting itself. When I will be killed, this will be my destiny and my aim will be achieved."

I didn't understand this answer.

So once it would have been,—'tis so no more;
I have submitted to a new control:
A power is gone, which nothing can restore;
A deep distress hath humanised my Soul.
Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.
The people may kill, burn, ravage, commit the most frightening cruelties, glorify their hero today and throw him into the gutter tomorrow, it is all the same; the politicians will not cease to vaunt the people's virtues and to bow to their every decision.
Idolatry is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also by setting up false devils
What might have been lost

Don't bother me
When you are praying alone, and your spirit is dejected, and you are wearied and oppressed by your loneliness, remember then, as always, that God the Trinity looks upon you with eyes brighter than the sun
In these aspects or parts of his work we pretend to find what is individual, what is the peculiar essence of the man. We dwell with satisfaction upon the poet's difference from his predecessors, especially his immediate predecessors; we endeavour to find something that can be isolated in order to be enjoyed. Whereas if we approach a poet without this prejudice we shall often find that not only the best, but the most individual parts of his work may be those in which the dead poets, his ancestors, assert their immortality most vigorously.
In each of us is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves.
Man cannot endure his own littleness unless he can translate it into meaningfulness on the largest possible level.
Little by little, the old world crumbled, and not once did the king imagine that some of the pieces might fall on him

The Artist and Her Family at a Fourth of July Picnic

[Lilly Martin Spencer, ~1864]
Heavy with weeping, and winds from sternward
Bore us out onward with bellying canvas,
Circe’s this craft, the trim-coifed goddess.
Then sat we amidships, wind jamming the tiller,
Thus with stretched sail, we went over sea till day’s end.
Sun to his slumber, shadows o’er all the ocean,
Came we then to the bounds of deepest water,
To the Kimmerian lands, and peopled cities
Covered with close-webbed mist, unpierced ever
With glitter of sun-rays
we were consumers of the hell we created
It won’t be pretty, but it’s better to be on the ground than on the back of an elephant on stilts
