THE LOVE OF THE CREATURE

You asked for a loving God: you have one. The great spirit you so lightly invoked, the “lord of terrible aspect,” is present: not a senile benevolence that drowsily wishes you to be happy in your own way, not the cold philanthropy of a conscientious magistrate, nor the care of a host who feels responsible for the comfort of his guests, but the consuming fire Himself, the Love that made the worlds, persistent as the artist’s love for his work and despotic as a man’s love for a dog, provident and venerable as a father’s love for a child, jealous, inexorable, exacting as love between the sexes.

—C. S. LEWIS: The Problem of pain

There is some secret stirring in the world,

A thought that seeks impatiently its word.

—THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES: (Fragment)
