• Great God, what do I see and hear!
  The end of things created!
  The judge of mankind doth appear
  On clouds of glory seated!
  The trumpet sounds; the graves restore,
  The dead which they contained before;
  Prepare, my soul, to meet Him!

• A few more years shall roll,
  A few more seasons come;
  And we shall be with those that rest,
  Asleep within the tomb.
  A few more storms shall beat
  On this wild rocky shore;
  And we shall be where tempests cease,
  And surges swell no more.
  A few more struggles here,
  A few more partings o'er,
  A few more toils, a few more tears,
  And we shall weep no more.
  Then, O my Lord, prepare
  My soul for that blest day;
  Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood,
  And take my sins away.

  Horatius Bonar

• When I received the Nobel Prize, the only big lump sum of money I have ever seen, I had to do something with it. The easiest way to drop this hot potato was to invest it, to buy shares. I knew that World War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul.

• What, my soul, was thy errand here?
  Was it mirth or ease,
  Or heaping up dust from year to year?

  Speak, soul, aright in His holy sight,
  Whose eye looks still
  And steadily on thee through the night;
  "To do His will!

• The irrevocable Hand
  That opes the year's fair gate, doth ope and shut
  The portals of our earthly destinies;
  We walk through blindfold, and the noiseless doors
  Close after us, for ever.
  
  Pause, my soul,
  On these strange words - for ever - whose large sound
  Breaks flood-like, drowning all the petty noise
  Our human moans make on the shores of Time.
  O Thou that openest, and no man shuts;
  That shut'st, and no man opens - Thee we wait!

• I am the master! I stretch forth my hands, even to the skies! I lay my hands upon the stars, as on the crystal wheels of the harmonica. Now fast, now slow, as my soul wills, I turn the stars. I weave them into rainbows, harmonies. I feel immortality! I create immortality!

• Of course, now I am too old to be much of a fisherman, and now of course I usually fish the big waters alone, although some friends think I shouldn't. Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise.
