“Your
enjoyment of the world is never right till every morning you awake in Heaven;
see yourself in your Father's Palace; and look upon the skies, the earth, and
the air, as Celestial Joys: having such a reverend esteem of all, as if you
were among the Angels.”—English poet and Anglican priest Thomas Traherne (1636?-1674),
Centuries of Meditation, edited by Bertram Dobell (1908)
