James 4:10
"Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."

 

"With ev'n step, and musing gait,"~~~MILTON: Il Penseroso

 

 

 

 

"Come, but keep thy wonted state,
With ev'n step, and musing gait,
And looks commercing with the skies,
Thy rapt soul sitting in thine eyes:
There held in holy passion still,
Forget thyself to marble, till
With a sad leaden downward cast,
Thou fix them on the earth as fast.”~~~Milton: Il Penseroso

 

 

 

 "ON A STEAMY NOVEMBER DAY IN 1535 AT THE MEXICAN SEAPORT of Vera Cruz, a sturdy boy led his mules to and from the shore where barges landed supplies from anchored cargo ships. He was Garcilaço, ten years old ‘but soon to be eleven,’ as he told anyone who cared to listen."~~~James A. Michener: TEXAS. Ch1 Land of Many Lands.
