And is there care in heauen? and is there loue
In heauenly spirits to these creatures bace,
That may compassion of their euils moue?
There is: else much more wretched were the cace
Of men, then beasts....
And all for loue, and nothing for reward:
O why should heauenly God to man haue such regard?
Again this week's quote
is from Spenser's Faerie Queene.
No, I haven't finished it. It turns out that the book is much more
difficult than what I thought before (and sometimes boring) because
the spelling and grammar is so different from the English I usually
know. Anyway...
The
quote above reminds me of God's compassion towards his creatures. The
last line truly resembles Psalm 8, that Milton once did into verse
saying, “What is a man that you remember yet?”
That's
my quote for this week. Care to share yours?
