All we have gained then by our unbelief Is a life of doubt diversified by faith, For one of faith diversified by doubt: We called the chess-board white-we call it black.
Robert Browning

How strange now, looks the life he makes us lead So free we seem, so fettered fast we are!
Robert Browning
Image
As is your sort of mind, So is your sort of search: You will find what you desire.
