More From Thomas B. Macaulay

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

Has my heart gone to sleep? have the beehives of my dreams stopped working, the waterwheel of the mind run dry, scoops turning empty, only shadow inside? no, my heart is not asleep. it is awake, wide awake. not asleep, not dreaming— its eyes are opened wide watching distant signals, listening on the rim of vast silence

The hippopotamus's day is passed in sleep; at night he hunts; god works in a mysterious way- the church can sleep and feed at once.

We must recognise the essential underlaying savagery in the animal called man, and return to older and sounder principles of national life and defense. we must realise that man's nature will remain the same so long as he remains man; that civilisation is but a slight coverlet beneath which the dominant beast sleeps lightly and ever ready to awake.

Dear to me is sleep: still more, being made of stone, while pain and guilt still linger here below, blindness and numbness--these please me alone; then do not wake me, keep your voices low.

Dawn is about luminosity and so is the iphone... the little drawings of the dawn are done while i'm still in bed... if you're in my kind of business you'd be a fool to sleep through that... artists can't work office hours, can they?
