When once I stop and take account of these that God has granted me upon the earth, the loves, the friends, the work, that charm and please these things I count inestimable worth; when once I stop, I learn that I am rich beyond the dreams of emperors and kings and light is real, and real these riches which exceed the worth of all material things... when thus I stop, I cannot understand when few and feeble sunbeams cannot find their way into that drab and dreary land, the darkness of the middle of my mind. yet darkness cannot take away my joy, for night can only hide, and not destroy.
