Download Open image
““  Familiar to our eyes, all places else   Inhospitable appeer and desolate,   Nor knowing us nor known: and if by prayer   Incessant I could hope to change the will   Of him who all things can, I would not cease   To wearie him with my assiduous cries:   But prayer against his absolute Decree   No more availes then breath against the winde,   Blown stifling back on him that breaths it forth:   Therefore to his great bidding I submit.””

John Milton
