quote du jour, part deux

William Morris to Janey Morris, from a letter:

“I wish I could say something that would serve you, beyond what you know very well, that I love and long to help you; and indeed I entreat you (however trite the words may be) to think that life is not empty nor made for nothing, and that the parts of it fit one into another in some way; and that the world goes on, beautiful and strange and dreadful and worshipful.”

That last phrase — “beautiful and strange and dreadful and worshipful” — really encompasses so much, doesn’t it?
