• What are these voices outside love's open door
  Make us throw off our contentment, and beg for something more?

  All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again

What perhaps you don't even know till now.

  Jean Anouilh

• I stood within the city disinterred;
  And heard the autumnal leaves like light footfalls
  Of spirits passng through the streets;
  and heard the Mountain's slumberous voice at intervals
  Thrill through those roofless halls;
  The oracular thunder penetrating shook
  The listening soul in my suspended blood.

• Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine. And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.
