The first of the undecoded messages read: "Popeye sits in thunder, Unthought of. From that shoebox of an apartment,... From livid curtain's hue, a tangram emerges: a country."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
And is it true? And is it true, This most tremendous tale of all,... Seen in a stained-glass window's hue, A Baby in an ox's stall? The Maker of the stars and sea Become a Child on earth for me?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There was a time when all these things would have passed me by, like the flitting figures of a theatre, sufficient for the amuseme...nt of an hour. But now, I have lost the power of looking merely on the surface. Everything seems to me to come from the Infinite, to be filled with the Infinite, to be tending toward the Infinite. Do I see crowds of men hastening to extinguish a fire? I see not merely uncouth garbs, and fantastic, flickering lights, of lurid hue, like a trampling troop of gnomes--but straightway my mind is filled with thoughts about mutual helpfulness, human sympathy, the common bond of brotherhood, and the mysteriously deep foundations on which society rests; or rather, on which it now reels and totters.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

... the lesson to be learned from China's Confucianism could never be more significant for us than it is now. Its ethical aspects ...are a reminder which our Christian civilization needs if we are not to stand before the world as hypocrites who preach love while practicing the bitterest hatreds toward more rival orthodoxies and toward peoples whose skins are of a different hue. We shall, in fact, dig the gave of Western civilization unless we implement the faith that Confucianism and democracy have in common, namely, that ethics has its roots in man's relation to the universe, that morality comes into being through honest, clear-cut human relationships and cannot endure unless it is reflected in the patterns of daily life.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
But hail thou Goddess, sage and holy, Hail divinest Melancholy,... Whose saintly visage is too bright To hit the sense of human sight, And therefore to our weaker view O'erlaid with black, staid Wisdom's hue;LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
