More From John Heywood

The ear participates, and helps arrange marriages; the eye has already made love with what it sees. the eye knows pleasure, delights in the body's shape: the ear hears words that talk about all this. when hearing takes place, character areas change; but when you see, inner areas change. if all you know about fire is what you have heard see if the fire will agree to cook you! certain energies come only when you burn. if you long for belief, sit down in the fire! when the ear receives subtly; it turns into an eye. but if words do not reach the ear in the chest, nothing happens.

Thinking Self Long
There are two americas. one is the america of lincoln and adlai stevenson; the other is the america of teddy roosevelt and the modern superpatriots. one is generous and humane, the other narrowly egotistical; one is self-critical, the other self-righteous; one is sensible, the other romantic; one is good-humored, the other solemn; one is inquiring, the other pontificating; one is moderate, the other filled with passionate intensity; one is judicious and the other arrogant in the use of great power.
