I love the nations and long for the day when every knee will bow and tongue will confess…These words are that great sum. In a time and nation of flabergasting elections on either side, these words are the end of all the stories of all humanity:
Bring us, O Lord God, at the last awakening into the house and gate of Heaven, to enter into that gate and dwell in that house, where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light; no noise nor silence, but one equal music; no fears nor hopes, but an equal possession; no ends and beginnings, but one equal eternity, in the habitations of your majesty and your glory, world without end.
A prayer by John Donne
