“The human spirit is itself the most wonderful fairy tale that can possibly be. What a magnificent world lies enclosed within our bosoms! No solar orbit hems it in, the inexhaustible wealth of the total visible creation is outweighed by its riches!”

And erases the face of the sun
Give me strength to endure, hope to believe
That living and dying are one.”
