    To sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not:”

    Dead leaves desert in thousands, outwards, upwards,
    Numerous as birds; but the birds fly away....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Mankind have such a deep stake in inward illumination, that there is much to be said by the hermit or monk in defence of his life of thought and prayer.”
