The Cloud
Luke 9:33
And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here…


Our whole happiness and power of energetic action depend upon our being able to breathe and live in the cloud; content to see it opening here and closing there; rejoicing to catch through the thinnest films of it, glimpses of stable and substantial things; but yet perceiving a nobleness even in the concealment, and rejoicing that the kindly veil is spread where the untempered light might have scorched us, or the infinite clearness wearied.

(J. Ruskin.)
