    What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous.

  • Delight…

     

    Emily Dickinson

    Delight becomes pictorial
    When viewed through pain,–
    More fair, because impossible
    That any gain.

    The mountain at a given distance
    In amber lies;
    Approached, the amber flits a little,–
    And that’s the skies!
