• O thou with dewy locks, who lookest down
  Thro' the clear windows of the morning, turn
  Thine angel eyes upon our western isle,
  Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring!
  
  The hills tell each other, and the listening
  Valleys hear; all our longing eyes are turned
  Up to thy bright pavilions: issue forth,
  And let thy holy feet visit our clime.
  
  Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds
  Kiss thy perfumed garments; let us taste
  Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls
  Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.

  William Blake

• Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,
  The periwinkle trails its wreath;
  And 'tis my faith that every flower
  Enjoys the air it breathes.
  
  The birds around me hopped and played,
  Their thoughts I cannot measure;
  But the least motion which they made,
  It seemed a thrill of pleasure.
  
  The budding twigs spread out their fan,
  To catch the breezy air;
  And I must think, do all I can
  That there was pleasure there.
  
  If this belief from heaven be sent,
  If such be Nature's holy plan,
  Have I not reason to lament
  What man has made of man?

  William Wordsworth

• Mockery of religion is one of the most essential things because to demystify supposedly 'holy text dictated by god' and show that they are man made and what you have to show [is] there internal inconsistencies and absurdities. One of the beginnings of human emancipation is the ability to laugh at authority... it is an indispensable thing people can call it blasphemy if they like, but if they call it that they have to assume there is something to be blasphemed - some divine work, well I don't accept the premise.

• In the matter of fellowship God looks not at how much we apprehend of His will but rather at what our attitude towards His will is. If we honestly seek and wholeheartedly obey His desires, our fellowship remains unbroken, even though there should be many unknown sins in us. Should fellowship be determined by the holiness of God, who among all the most holy saints in the past and the present would be qualified to hold a moment's perfect communion with Him?

• When the clouds shake their hyssops, and the rain
  Like holy water falls upon the plain,
  'Tis sweet to gaze upon the springing grain
  And see your harvest born.
  And sweet the little breeze of melody
  The blackbord puffs upon the budding tree,
  While the wild poppy lights upon the lea
  And blazes 'mid the corn.

• It is less injury to Him to deny His being, than to deny the purity of it; the one makes Him no God, the other a deformed, unlovely, and a detestable God. He that saith God is not holy speaks much worse that he that saith there is no God at all.
