I arise from
dreams of thee
in the first sweet
sleep of night,
when the winds
are breathing low,
and the stars
are shining bright.
  -- Percy B. Shelley
  1792-1822
  The Indian Serenade,
  1819

 

The heavens
declare
the glory of God;
and
the firmament
showeth
his handywork.
  -- Holly Bible
  Psalms 19:1

In God's wilderness lies the hope of the world,
the great, fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.
