To see the sun go down beyond the Sepulchre and rise over the mountain of the Ascension, to bare
my forehead to the cold dews of Gethsemane, and lave my dim eyes in the waters of Siloam, to sleep
in the company of the infinite host above the oaks of Mamre, and to lie in the starlight of Bethlehem
and catch, however faintly, some notes of the voices of the angels, to wash off the dust of life in the
Jordan, to cool my hot lips at the well of Samaria, to hear the murmur of Gennesareth, giving me
blessed sleep — was not all this worth dreaming of — worth living for — was it not worth dying
for? | | | Similar Items: | Find |
