    “Prayer is
    The world in tune,
    A spirit-voice,
    And vocal joys,
    Whose echo is Heaven’s bliss.”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies.”
    —Napoleon Bonaparte (1769–1821)
