We have a dangerous tendency to misunderstand, minimize, and even manipulate the gospel in order to accommodate our assumptions and our desires.
My vegetable love should grow Vaster than empires, and more slow.
But at my back I always hear Time's winged chariot hurrying near.
Gather the flowers, but spare the buds.

Had we but world enough, and time, this coyness, lady, were no crime.
How vainly men themselves amaze To win the palm, the oak, or bays; And their uncessant labours see Crown'd from some single herb or tree. Whose short and narrow verged shade Does prudently their toils upbraid; While all flow'rs and all trees do close To weave the garlands of repose.
