The stream of truth flows through its channels of mistakes.
244 My heart is homesick to-day for the one sweet hour across the sea of time. 245 The bird-song is the echo of the morning light back from the earth. 246 "Are you too proud to kiss me?" the morning light asks the buttercup. 247 "How may I sing to thee and worship, O Sun?" asked the little flower. "By the simple silence of thy purity," answered the sun. 248 Man is worse than an animal when he is an animal. 249 Dark clouds become heaven's flowers when kissed by light. 250 Let not the sword-blade mock its handle for being blunt. 251 |
