The Unvanquished Sun

Posted by

 

“The huge great clouds move slowly, gently, as

Reluctant the quick sun should shine in vain, . . .

In all the myriad grey,

In silver height and dusky deep, remain

The loveliest

Faint purple flushes of the unvanquished sun.”

– John Freeman –

 

Nurture peace. Cultivate kindness. Carry the calm.

but the gold of real service.”
