If with too credent ear you list his songs,

“The form of act or thought mattered nothing. The hymns of David, the plays of Shakespeare, the metaphysics of Descartes, the crimes of Borgia, the virtues of Antonine, the atheism of yesterday and the materialism of to-day, were all emanation of divine thought, doing their appointed work. It was the duty of the church to deal with them all, not as though they existed through a power hostile to the deity, but as instruments of the deity to work out his unrevealed ends.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

“At the thick of the dark
the moment of the cold’s
deepest plunge we brought branches
cut from the green trees

to fill our need,”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
