• Sólo Euclides ha contemplado la Belleza desnuda. Que todos los que parlotean de la Belleza callen, y se tumben en la tierra y dejen de reflexionar sobre sí mismos, mientras miran fijamente a la nada, intrincadamente dibujada en ninguna parte en formas de linaje cambiante; que los gansos gorjeen y silben, pero los héroes busquen liberarse de la polvorienta esclavitud en el aire luminoso. ¡Oh hora cegadora, oh día santo y terrible, cuando por primera vez el rayo de luz anatomizada brilló en su visión! Sólo Euclides ha contemplado la belleza desnuda. Afortunados aquellos que, aunque sólo una vez y luego muy lejos, han oído su maciza sandalia sobre la piedra.

  Edna St. Vincent Millay

  Paz, Héroe, Aire

• You think he’s still alive?” Royce asked, nodding his head toward Alric. “Sure,” Hadrian replied without bothering to look. “He’s probably sleeping. Why do you ask?” “I was just pondering something. Do you think a person could smother in a wet potato bag?” Hadrian lifted his head and looked over at the motionless prince. “I really hadn’t thought about it until now.

• Soy un hombre libre y necesito mi libertad. Necesito estar solo. Necesito meditar sobre mi vergüenza y mi desesperación en reclusión; necesito el sol y los adoquines de las calles sin compañía, sin conversación, cara a cara conmigo mismo, con la única compañía de la música de mi corazón. ¿Qué quieres de mí? Cuando tengo algo que decir, lo escribo. Cuando tengo algo que dar, lo doy. Su curiosidad me revuelve el estómago. Tus cumplidos me humillan. Su té me envenena. No le debo nada a nadie. Sólo sería responsable ante Dios, si existiera.

• Bien, pandilla", dije, "según los planos, hay un panel de acceso al ascensor en el lado este del edificio. Puede que nos ensuciemos un poco, pero..." "Pensé que podríamos pasar por las puertas", dijo Liz, mostrando tres invitaciones bellamente grabadas y unas identificaciones falsas maravillosamente auténticas. Las entradas costaban 20.000 dólares cada una. El Servicio Secreto llevaba semanas examinando la lista de invitados, así que Bex y yo nos detuvimos bajo una farola y estudiamos a Liz. "¿Acaso quiero saber dónde las conseguiste?" Le pregunté. Liz pareció meditarlo y luego dijo: "No.

• Our God is a God of love. He waits with open arms, and the unfolding of His merciful plan of salvation is not only therefore the mark of divine power but also the mark of God's relentless, redeeming love. It is a point well worth pondering because, among other reasons, it will help us to understand better why God, through the prophets, denounces sin and corruption in such scalding terms. He loves all of us, His spirit sons and daughters, but hates our vices. His denunciation of those vices may, if we are not careful, seem to obscure the enormous and perfect love He has for us.

Art, music, literature, dance, theater, and many other expressions of human delight and wisdom, can all be explored in new ways.

• Siempre me asombra mirar las pequeñas y arrugadas semillas marrones y pensar en los arco iris que hay en ellas", dijo el capitán Jim. "Cuando reflexiono sobre esas semillas, no me resulta difícil creer que tenemos almas que vivirán en otros mundos.

• The sweetness of dogs (fifteen) What do you say, Percy? I am thinking of sitting out on the sand to watch the moon rise. Full tonight. So we go and the moon rises, so beautiful it makes me shudder, makes me think about time and space, makes me take measure of myself: one iota pondering heaven. Thus we sit, I thinking how grateful I am for the moon’s perfect beauty and also, oh! How rich it is to love the world. Percy, meanwhile, leans against me and gazes up into my face. As though I were his perfect moon.

• The Christian life is a thank-you from beginning to end as we ponder what God has done. What an absurdity to think that we could ever bargain with God, as if there were anything we could put on the table. Nothing we can do would ever earn his favor. Yet all is ours for free. And the cross reveals his willingness to forgive not just once, but over and over and over again. How can we repay such extravagant, generous love? We cannot and need not, and the heart's only answer is gratitude.

  Rebecca Pippert
