“Oh! joyous hearts! enfired with holy flame!
Is speech thus tasseled with praise?
Will not your inward fire of joy contain:
That it in open flames doth blaze?
For in Christ’s coach saints sweetly sing,
As they to glory ride therein.”

“It was palpable, all that wanting: Mother wanting something more, Dad wanting something more, everyone wanting something more.

—Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)
