Présentation de l'éditeur
No man can think, nor in himself perceive, Sometimes at waking, in the street sometimes, Or on the hillside, always unforewarned, A grace of being, finer than himself, That beckons and is gone a larger life Upon his own impinging, with swift glimpse Of spacious circles luminous with mind, To which the ethereal substance of his own Seems but gross cloud to make that visible, Touched to a sudden glory round the edge. James Russell Lowell. To be religious is to feel that God is the Ever Near. It is to go through Hfe with this thought coming instinctively and unbidden, Thou, God, seest me. A life of religion is a life of faith: and faith is that strange faculty by which man feels the presence of the invisible, exactly as some animals have the power of seeing in the dark. ... It is this that makes a Christian. Move where he will, there is a thought and a Presence which he cannot put aside. He is haunted forever by the Eternal Mind. God looks out upon him from the clear sky, and through the thick darkness, is present in the raindrop that trickles down the branches, and in the tempest that crashes down the forest. A living Redeemer stands by him, goes with him, talks with him, as a man with his friend. The emphatic description of a life of spirituality is, Enoch walked with God. Frederick W. Robertson. Glory about thee, without thee ;and thou fulfillest thy doom, Making Him broken gleams, and a stifled splendor and gloom. Speak to Him thou, for He hears, and Spirit with Spirit can meet: Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet. Alfred Tennyson.
