Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in that mirror which waits always before or behind.

~Catherine Drinker Bowen, Atlantic, December 1957

Happy, indeed, is she

whom it is given

to share this sacred banquet,

to cling with all her heart to Him-

Whose beauty all the heavenly hosts admire unceasingly,

Whose love inflames our love,

Whose contemplation is our refreshment,

Whose graciousness is our joy,

Whose gentleness fills us to overflowing,

Whose remembrance brings a gentle light,

Whose fragrance will revive the dead,

Whose glorious vision will be the happiness

of all the citizens of the heavenly Jerusalem.

-Claire of Assisi
