| Those obstinate questionings Of sense and outward things, Fallings from us, vanishings, Blank misgivings of a creature Moving about in worlds not realized, High instincts before which our mortal nature Did tremble like a guilty thing surprised. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Good motivation causes good action. The beauty of action is in the method. Buddhahood is the beauty of result. Generally beauty means something positive, but if you are subjectively too attached to it and handle it wrongly, it can lead to destruction. But then I wonder about the definition of beauty. Can you consider the art of killing as beauty, especially painless killing? Or the art of warfare - little expense but a huge amount of destruction? Maybe it is considered as beauty. |
