Our unfurnished eyes

The spirit world is not closed;
Your eyes are closed, your heart is dead!
Faust – Goethe


Novalis:  "The spirit world is indeed already unlocked for us; it is always revealed. If we suddenly became as elastic as we should be, we should see ourselves in the midst of it."

William Blake:  "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern."








Not "Revelation" — 'tis — that waits,
But our unfurnished eyes —

                      Emily Dickinson
