Richard Crashaw Quotes
Two went to pray? Better to say one went to brag, the other to pray.
Feast of Philip & James, Apostles
Come Love, come Lord, and that long day
For which I languish, come away.
When this dry soul those eyes shall see
And drink the unseal'd source of Thee,
When glory's sun faith's shades shall chase,
Then for Thy veil give me Thy face.
Welcome! all Wonders in one sight!
Eternity shut in a span.
Summer in winter, day in night,
Heaven in earth, and God in man.
Great little one! whose all-embracing birth
Lifts earth to heaven, stoops heav'n to earth!
I would be married, but I'd have no wife,I would be married to a single life.
I would be married, but I'd have no wife,
I would be married to a single life.
A happy soul, that all the way
To heaven hath a summer's day.
O mighty nothing! unto thee,
Nothing, we owe all things that be;
God spake once when He all things made,
He saved all when He nothing said,
The world was made of nothing then;
'Tis made by nothing now again.
Thou water turn'st to wine, fair friend of life;
Thy foe, to cross the sweet arts of Thy reign,
Distils from thence the tears of wrath and strife,
And so turns wine to water back again.
