Seem all of paradise that we shall know?

A part of labor and a part of pain,
And next in glory to enduring love,
Not this dividing and indifferent blue.”

It shook all the societies in the world loose from their old moorings. But it seems indifferent whether or not they reach safe harbour in the end.”
—Barbara Ward (1914–1981)
