| Behind the reality Franziskus Pfleghart |
“One of the strange
things about living in the world
is that it is only now and then one is quite sure
one is going to live forever and ever and ever. One knows it sometimes
when one gets up at the tender solemn dawn-time and goes out and stands
alone and throws one's head far back and looks up and up and watches
the pale sky slowly changing and flushing and marvelous unknown
things happening until the East almost makes one cry out
and one's heart stands still at the strange unchanging majesty
of the rising of the sun—which has been happening every morning
for thousands and thousands and thousands of years.”
