• When they [the Church] have opened a gap in the hedge or wall of separation between the garden of the church and the wilderness of the world, God hath ever broke down the wall itself, removed the Candlestick, etc., and made His Garden a wilderness as it is this day. And that therefore if He will ever please to restore His garden and Paradise again, it must of necessity be walled in peculiarly unto Himself from the world, and all that be saved out of the world are to be transplanted out of the wilderness of the World.

• Love is the simplest of all earthly things.
  It needs no grandeur of celestial trust
  In more than what it is, no holy wings:
  It stands with honest feet in honest dust,
  And is the body's blossoming in clear air
  Of trustfulness and joyance when alone
  Two mortals pass beyond the hour's despair
  And claim that Paradise which is their own.
  Amid a universe of sweat and blood,
  Beyond the glooms of all the nations' hate,
  Lovers, forgetful of the poisoned mood
  Of the loud world, in secret ere too late
  A gentle sacrament may celebrate
  Before their private altar of the good.

  Arthur Davison Ficke
