Done
Sky is the part of creation in which nature has done more for the sake of pleasing man, more for the sole and evident purpose of talking to him and teaching him, than in any other of her works, and it is just the part in which we least attend to her.
Teaching Men Sky
Aside from higher considerations, charity often operates as a vastly wise and prudent principle-a great safeguard to its possessor. men have committed murder for jealousy's sake, and anger's sake, and hatred's sake, and selfishness' sake, and spiritual pride's sake; but no man that ever i heard of, ever committed a diabolical murder for sweet charity's sake. mere self-interest, then, if no better motive can be enlisted, should, especially with high-tempered men, prompt all beings to charity and philanthropy.
Wise Spiritual Sweet
Time, you'll be pleased to know--and since one must start somewhere--was created in creation. the question what was there before creation? is meaningless. time is a property of creation, therefore before creation there was no before creation.

There is a great difference, whether the poet seeks the particular for the sake of the general or sees the general in the particular. from the former procedure there ensues allegory, in which the particular serves only as illustration, as example of the general. the latter procedure, however, is genuinely the nature of poetry; it expresses something particular, without thinking of the general or pointing to it.
Thinking Illustration Differences
Nature is man's inorganic body -- that is to say, nature insofar as it is not the human body. man lives from nature -- i.e., nature is his body -- and he must maintain a continuing dialogue with it is he is not to die. to say that man's physical and mental life is linked to nature simply means that nature is linked to itself, for man is a part of nature.

And i mean to hear ye groan like that again. and to moan and sob, even though you dinna wish to, for ye canna help it. i mean to make you sigh as though your heart would break, and scream with the wanting, and at last to cry out in my arms, and i shall know that i've served ye well.
