What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins

from a music site I frequent
"C. S. Lewis tells the story in his book 'The Great Divorce' of a man who, as a ghost, takes a bus ride through both hell and heaven. One of things he discovers on his trip is that if your final destination is hell you will find that this present world was only a part of hell. However, if your final destination was heaven, you will discover that this present world was a part of heaven the whole time. I know that my destination is heaven. How do I know this? Two words: Emmylou Harris."
