More From Solomon Ibn Gabirol

Sin! sin! thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which god hates. and what wonder? thou hast insulted his holy majesty; thou hast bereaved him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the son of his infinite love; thou hast vexed his gracious spirit; thou hast defied his power; thou hast despised his grace; and in the body and blood of jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot his matchless mercy. surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate.

Oh, thou did'st then ne'er love so heartily. if thou rememb'rest not the slightest folly that ever love did make thee run inot, thou has not loved. of if thou has't not sat as i do now, wearying they hearer in thy mistress's praise, thou has not loved. of if thou hast not broke from company abruptly, as my passion now makes me, thou has not loved. (silvius)
Running Passion Mistress
What is thy thought? there is no miracle? there is a great one, which thou hast not read, and never shalt escape. thyself, o man, thou art the miracle. ay, thou thyself, being in the world and of the world, thyself, hast breathed in breath from him that made the world. thou art thy father's copy of himself,-- thou art thy father's miracle.

As there is no worldly gain without some loss, so there is no worldly loss without some gain; if thou hast lost thy wealth, thou hast lost some trouble with it; if thou art degraded from thy honor, thou art likewise freed from the stroke of envy; if sickness hath blurred thy beauty, it hath delivered thee from pride. set the allowance against the loss, and thou shalt find no loss great; he loses little or nothing, that reserves himself.

Therefore was i created with a stubborn outside, with an aspect of iron, that when i come to woo ladies, i fright them. but, in faith, kate, the elder i wax, the better i shall appear. my comfort is that old age, that ill layer-up of beauty, can do no more spoil upon my face. thou hast me, if thou hast me, at the worst, and thou shalt wear me, if thou wear me, better and better.
Iron Age Comfort
Lord god, i thank thee that thou hast been pleased to make me a poor and indigent man upon earth. i have neither house nor land nor money, to leave behind me. thou hast given me wife and children, whom i now restore to thee. lord, nourish, teach, and preserve them as thou hast me.

I know children regress after vaccination because it happened to my own son. why aren't there any tests out there on the safety of how vaccines are administered in the real world, six at a time? why have only two of the 36 shots our kids receive been looked at for their relationship to autism?

I trembled to think of a world without stars. no guide for the sailor to trust at see, no jewels to dazzle our sense of beauty [...] but all around the globe, the air is so dirty and the lights from the cities are so bright that for some people few stars can be seen anymore. a generation of children may grow up seeing a blank sky and asking, "did there used to be stars there?
