' Old things pass away '...

Whenever a mind is simple, and receives a divine wisdom, old things pass away, — means, teachers, texts, temples fall; it lives now, and absorbs past and future into the present hour.

All things are made sacred by relation to it, — one as much as another.

All things are dissolved to their centre by their cause, and, in the universal miracle, petty and particular miracles disappear..



- Ralph Waldo Emerson
