" "
A young man who had been troubling society with impalpable doctrines of a new civilization which he called "the Kingdom of Heaven" had been put out of the way; and I can imagine that believer in material power murmuring as he went homeward, "it will all blow over now."

Additional quotes by George William Russell

In the abyss, each fire hid in its clod,
From which in clouds and dreams the spirit rolls
Into the vast of God.

Our true hearts are forever lonely:
A wistfulness is in our thought:
Our lights are like the dawns which only
Seem bright to us and yet are not.
