More From John Ruskin

You are merely the lens in the beam. you can only receive, give, and possess the light as the lens does. if you seek yourself, you rob the lens of its transparency. you will know life and be acknowledged by it according to your degree of transparency - your capacity, that is, to vanish as an end and remain purely as a means.

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

Oh soul, you worry too much. you have seen your own strength. you have seen your own beauty. you have seen your golden wings. of anything less, why do you worry? you are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
