And evn the rigid feature:
Yet neer with wits profane to range
Be complaisance extended;An atheist laughs a poor exchange
For deity offended. – Robert Burns

Were to burst at once into the sky
That would be like the splendor of the Mighty one —

The shatterer of Worlds. – Hindu Spiritual

Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
Tis folly to be wise. – Thomas Gray
