( Some interesting snips pulled from the above )

Reject those glorious visions of God's love
And man's design; laugh loud that God should send
Vast longings to direct us; say how soon
Power satiates these, or lust, or gold; I know
The world's cry well, and how to answer it

--Browning, Paracelsus Aspires (I)
