More From Charles Dickens

Dawn's faint breath breathes with your mouth at the ends of empty streets. gray light your eyes, sweet drops of dawn on dark hills. your steps and breath like the wind of dawn smother houses. the city shudders, stones exhale— you are life, an awakening. star lost in the light of dawn, trill of the breeze, warmth, breath— the night is done. you are light and morning.

The essence of science is that it is always willing to abandon a given idea, however fundamental it may seem to be, for a better one; the essence of theology is that it holds its truths to be eternal and immutable. to be sure, theology is always yielding a little to the progress of knowledge, and only a holy roller in the mountains of tennessee would dare to preach today what the popes preached in the thirteenth century, but this yielding is always done grudgingly, and thus lingers a good while behind the event.

Yes, the highest things are beyond words. that is probably why all art aspires to the condition of wordlessness. when literature works on you, it does so in silence, in your dreams, in your wordless moments. good words enter you and become moods, become the quiet fabric of your being. like music, like painting, literature too wants to transcend its primary condition and become something higher. art wants to move into silence, into the emotional and spiritual conditions of the world. statues become melodies, melodies become yearnings, yearnings become actions.

Young love-making--that gossamer web! even the points it clings to--the things whence its subtle interlacings are swung--are scarcely perceptible: momentary touches of finger-tips, meetings of rays from blue and dark orbs, unfinished phrases, lightest changes of cheek and lip, faintest tremors. the web itself is made of spontaneous beliefs and indefinable joys, yearnings of one life towards another, visions of completeness, indefinite trust.
Love Dark Blue
We tend to think of consecration only as yielding up, when divinely directed, our material possessions. but ultimate consecration is the yielding up of oneself to god. heart, soul, and mind were the encompassing words of christ in describing the first commandment, which is constantly, not periodically, operative (see matt. 22:37). if kept, then our performances will, in turn, be fully consecrated for the lasting welfare of our souls (see 2 ne. 32:9).
Heart Thinking Soul
We are nature. we are nature seeing nature. we are nature with a concept of nature. nature weeping. nature speaking of nature to nature.

Nature seems to have poured forth her riches so without calculation, merely to mark the fullness of her joy.

Persons of genius, and those who are most capable of art, are always most fond of nature: as such are chiefly sensible, that all art consists in the imitation and study of nature.
