  • Quote

    Іοϋλίανποθω — and before I knew what I desired, the desire itself was gone, the whole glimpse withdrawn, the world commonplace again, or only stirred by a longing for the longing that had just ceased. It had taken only a moment of time; and in a certain sense everything else that had ever happened to me was insignificant in comparison.

    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.

    Imagine people sitting around fire under a starry sky and wondering who we are and where we have come from. But instead we sit in drawing rooms and make statements: "I am so and so, my son is so and so, my god is so and so, my holy book is so and so." If you have already assumed an identity, how will you know who you really are?
