GOD
Where
sanity is
There God
is.
And the
sane can still recognise sanity
So they
can still recognise God.
(De Sola
Pinto, 516)
ABSOLUTE
REVERENCE
I feel
absolute reverence to nobody and to nothing human
Neither to
persons nor things nor ideas, ideals nor religion
Nor
institutions,
To those
things I feel only respect, and a tinge of reverence
When I see
the fluttering of pure life in them.
But to
something unseen, unknown, creative
From which
I feel I am a derivative
I feel
absolute reverence. Say no more!
(Ibid,
622)
