I have desired to go
Where springs not fail,
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.

And I have desired to be
Where no storms come,
Where the green swell is in the havens dumb,
And out of the swing of the sea.

— Gerard Manley Hopkins

St. Paul, to the Thessalonians

But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness,
for that day to overtake you like a thief.
For all of you are children of the light
and children of the day.
We are not of the night or of darkness.
Therefore, let us not sleep as the rest do,
but let us stay alert and sober.

Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit a while, put down the needles, write a while, then take up the sock again.

It was not in me.
It moved in and out.
When I dared to stop it, the wine won out.
(What it was, I no longer remember.)
The wine then offered
this and offered that,
till I became dependent on him.

I, fool!~~Rainer Maria Rilke

Robin: "Boy! That was our closest call ever! I have to admit that I was pretty scared!"
Batman: "I wasn't scared in the least."
Robin: "Not at all?"
Batman: "Haven't you noticed how we always escape the vicious ensnarements of our enemies?"
Robin: "Yeah, because we're smarter than they are!"
Batman: "I like to think it's because our hearts are pure."
