Earth Ritual

Famous quotes containing the words earth and/or ritual:

    This idoll which you terme Virginitie,
    Is neither essence subject to the eie,
    No, nor to any one exterior sence,
    Nor hath it any place of residence,
    Nor is’t of earth or mold celestiall,
    Or capable of any forme at all.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    We must get back into relation, vivid and nourishing relation to the cosmos and the universe. The way is through daily ritual, and is an affair of the individual and the household, a ritual of dawn and noon and sunset, the ritual of the kindling fire and pouring water, the ritual of the first breath, and the last.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
