Nathalia Crane Quote

A precious place is Paradise and none may know its worth,
But Eden ever longeth for the knicknacks of the earth. The angels grow quite wistful over worldly things below;
They hear the hurdy-gurdies in the Candle Makers Row. They listen for the laughter from the antics of the earth;
They lower pails from heaven's walls to catch the milk-maids mirth.

"Prescience" - The Janitor's Boy And Other Poems (1924)
