Earth’s crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning Quotes
When our two souls stand up erect and strong, Face to face, silent, drawing nigh and nigher, Until their lengthening wings break into fire At either curve'd point,...what bitter wrong, Can the earth do to us, that we should not long Be here contented?
