"It is one with the living water welling up from the very springs of Being...The dream is the quiet persistence in the heart that enables a man to ride out the storms of his churning experiences."

"There were times when it seemed as if the earth and the river and the sky and I were one beat of the same pulse. It was a time of watching and waiting for what I did not know -- yet I always knew."

Charlotte Brontë, Villette, 1853 ✨
"I should have quailed still more in the unwonted presence of that which to-night shone in the north, a moving mystery -- the Aurora Borealis. But this solemn stranger influenced me otherwise than through my fears. Some new power it seemed to bring."
