Moving Streams

“O what venerable and reverend creatures did the aged seem! Immortal Cherubims! And young men glittering and sparkling Angels, and maids strange seraphic pieces of life and beauty!

—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

“And though all streams flow from a single course to cleanse the blood from polluted hand, they hasten on their course in vain.”
