O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air! The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there! Down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves'-eyes! The grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold lies! Wind-beat whitebeam! airy abeles set on a flare! Flake-doves sent floating forth at a farmyard scare! Ah well! it is all a purchase, all is a prize." The stars, in other words, are seen as tiny windows into bright Heaven. May each of us personal "stars" offer similar gateways. - Sue Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:41:49 +0100
