More From Francis Quarles

Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.

Gaze not on beauty too much, lest it blast thee; nor too long, lest it blind thee; nor too near, lest it burn thee. if thou like it, it deceives thee; if thou love it, it disturbs thee; if thou hunt after it, it destroys thee. if virtue accompany it, it is the heart's paradise; if vice associate it, it is the soul's purgatory. it is the wise man's bonfire, and the fool's furnace.

Lord! thou art with thy people still; they see thee in the night-watches, and their hearts burn within them as thou talkest with them by the way. and thou art near to those that have not known thee; open their eyes that they may see thee--see thee weeping over them, and saying, "ye will not come unto me that ye might have life"--see thee hanging on the cross and saying, "father, forgive them, for they know not what they do"--see thee as thou wilt come again in thy glory to judge them at the last. amen.

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

I see thee better in the dark, i do not need a light. the love of thee a prism be excelling violet. i see thee better for the years that hunch themselves between, the miner’s lamp sufficient be to nullify the mine. and in the grave i see thee best— its little panels be a-glow, all ruddy with the light i held so high for thee! what need of day to those whose dark hath so surpassing sun, it seem it be continually at the meridian?

It is pleasure that lurks in the practice of every one of your virtues. man performs actions because they are good for him, and when they are good for other people as well they are thought virtuous: if he finds pleasure in helping others he is benevolent; if he finds pleasure in working for society he is public-spirited; but it is for your private pleasure that you give twopence to a beggar as much as it is for my private pleasure that i drink another whiskey and soda. i, less of a humbug than you, neither applaud myself for my pleasure nor demand your admiration.
