~ Thomas Traherne

“You never enjoy the world alright, until the Sea itself flows in your

veins, until you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars:

and perceive yourself as the sole heir of the whole world, and more than

that, because people are in it who are every one sole heirs as well as you.

Until you can sing and rejoice and delight in God, as misers do in gold, and

Kings in scepters, you never enjoy the world……"
