The persons on whom i have bestowed my dearest love lie deep in their graves; but, although the happiness and delight of my life lie buried there too, i have not made a coffin of my heart, and sealed it up for ever on my best affections. deep affliction has only made them stronger; it ought, i think, for it should refine our nature.

The Persons On Whom I Have Bestowed

The persons on whom i have bestowed my dearest love lie deep in their graves; but, although the happiness and delight of my life lie buried there too, i have not made a coffin of my heart, and sealed it up for ever on my best affections. deep affliction has only made them stronger; it ought, i think, for it should refine our nature.

To love you as i should, i must worship god as creator. when i have learnt to love god better than my earthly dearest, i shall love my earthly dearest better than i do now. in so far as i learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of god and instead of god, i shall be moving towards the state in which i shall not love my earthly dearest t all. when first things are put first, second things are not suppressed bu increased.

There's a graveyard in northern france where all the dead boys from d-day are buried. the white crosses reach from one horizon to the other. i remember looking it over and thinking it was a forest of graves. but the rows were like this, dizzying, diagonal, perfectly straight, so after all it wasn't a forest but an orchard of graves. nothing to do with nature, unless you count human nature.

Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. they voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others.

Since holiness is the main thing that excites, draws, and governs all gracious affections, it is no wonder that all such affections tend to holiness. that which men love, they desire to have and to be united to, and possessed of. that beauty which men delight in, they desire to be adorned with. those acts which men delight in, they necessarily incline to do.

I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well. i can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been.
