  • Quote

    Oh, I could let the world go by,Its loud new wonders and its wars,BUt how will I give up the skyWhen winter dusk is set with stars?And I could let the cities go,Their changing customs and their creeds,–In silver on the jewel-weeds!

    As for the wonders the Exalted Creator crafted, by they perceived by the senses or understood by the intellect — they are indubitable and flawless.As for the curious stories linked to relating them — I have had no hand in them.And as for the strange characteristics [of them] — . . . life does not supply experience of all of them, [but] there is no point in dismissing all of them for the sake of doubt in some of them.
