More From Robert Herrick

Just me, just me sweet marie, she loves just me (she also loves maurice mcghee). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves louise dupree). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves the willow tree). no she don't, she loves just me! (poor, poor fool, why can't you see she can love others and still love thee.)
Sweet Tree Fool
You're looking at me as though i'm weird. my god! are you so out of touch with most of america, most of which believes in the devil? i mean, jesus christ believed in the devil! it's in the gospels! you travel in circles that are so, so removed from mainstream america that you are appalled that anybody would believe in the devil! most of mankind has believed in the devil, for all of history. many more intelligent people than you or me have believed in the devil.
Jesus Believe Mean
What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

Do you believe that the god of jesus loves you beyond worthiness and unworthiness, beyond fidelity and infidelity—that he loves you in the morning sun and in the evening rain—that he loves you when your intellect denies it, your emotions refuse it, your whole being rejects it. do you believe that god loves without condition or reservation and loves you this moment as you are and not as you should be.
God Religious Jesus
Although we tend to think about saints as holy and pious, and picture them with halos above their heads and ecstatic gazes, true saints are much more accessible. they are men and women like us, who live ordinary lives and struggle with ordinary problems. what makes them saints is their clear and unwavering focus on god and god's people.

Absolutely. i think, i think the american people, at their core, are a decent people. i think that we still have prejudice in our midst, but i think that the vast majority of americans are willing, are willing to judge people on the basis of their ideas and their character. and in the case of the presidency, i think what's most important is whether the american people think that you understand their hopes and dreams and struggles and whether they think you can actually help them achieve those hopes and dreams.
Dream Struggle Character
When we want to give expression to a dramatic situation in our lives, we tend to use metaphors of heaviness. we say that something has become a great burden to us. we either bear the burden or fail and go down with it, we struggle with it, win or lose. and sabina - what had come over her? nothing. she had left a man because she felt like leaving him. had he persecuted her? had he tried to take revenge on her? no. her drama was a drama not of heaviness but of lightness. what fell to her lot was not the burden, but the unbearable lightness of being.
