To bow to the great and only Source of light, and live humbly and with confiding resignation.

Amid the rustle of his planted hills,
Life overflows without ambitious pains;
And rains down life until the basin spills,
And mounts more dizzy high the more it rains
As though to choose whatever shape it wills.
William Butler Yeats

Dante Alighieri
