I have got such a beautiful edition of Thomas à Kempis.
How I love that old monk. He caught a wonderful glimpse of the "behind the veil"--few ever got such.
My, that is religion. No humbug of the world.
No shilly-shallying, tall talk, conjecture--I presume, I believe, I think.
How I would like to go out of this piece of painted humbug they call the beautiful world with Thomas à Kempis--beyond, beyond, which can only be felt, never expressed.
