  William Anders

• Help me, Mikey, she wanted to say. I’m afraid. More afraid than you’d ever believe.’ And he’d take her hand and they’d fly across the rooftops and up into space and sit on some planet and watch a double sunrise or maybe a star being born or some other event that no human had ever seen, her head on his shoulder, his arm around her. And she’d tell him everything.

• The Enemy wants to bring the man to a state of mind in which he could design the best cathedral in the world, and know it to be the best, and rejoice in the fact, without being any more (or less) or otherwise glad at having done it than he would be if it had been done by another. The Enemy wants him, in the end, to be so free from any bias in his own favour that he can rejoice in his own talents as frankly and gratefully as in his neighbour's talents--or in a sunrise, an elephant, or a waterfall.

• Now are the days, of humblest prayer,
  When consciences to God lie bare,
  And mercy most delights to spare.
  Oh hearken when we cry.
  Now is the season, wisely long,
  Of sadder thought and graver song,
  When ailing souls grow well and strong.
  Oh hearken when we cry.
  The feast of penance! Oh so bright,
  With true conversion's heavenly light,
  Like sunrise after stormy night!
  Oh hearken when we cry.
  Oh happy time of blessed tears,
  Of surer hopes, of chast'ning fears,
  Undoing all our evil years.
  Oh hearken when we cry.
  Chastise us with Thy fear;
  Yet, Father! in the multitude
  Of Thy compassions, hear!

  Frederick William Faber

• It is always there, of course, when you come back from the green world.
