Things of the spirit we cannot reckon as a husband-man reckons his crops.

There is a folk on the marches of Europe, and they are ever going into battle, and they always fall.

Their results are nothing.

But their name and their glory will endure forever...
"My dear son, God has put wisdom in my head and beauty into yours.
Wisdom is needed for the governance of this world, but beauty is needed for its existence.

In arid deserts there is no life.
