    In some of us there’s a fire that burns too brightly. It makes us feel things differently, painfully—even great joy. To feed that fire too often, to make the flames too strong is to destroy yourself. Ye burn and burn and burn. ’Tis too painful to live that kind of life. Yet ’tis beautiful, too. Too beautiful for words or thought, too beautiful to look upon. Ye can climb to the heavens on the colors of those flames, but ye can also fall into darkness without end.

    Forbid that I should walk through Thy beautiful world with unseeing eyes;Forbid that the lure of the market-place should ever entirely steal my heart away from the love of the open acres and the green trees;Forbid that under the low roof of workshop or office or study I should ever forget Thy great overarching sky:Forbid that when all Thy creatures are greeting the morning with songs and shouts of joy, I alone should wear a dull and sullen face.
