When I was a child, love to me was what the sea is to a fish; something you swim in while you are going about the important affairs of life.

P. L. Travers

The Sphinx, the Pyramids, the stone temples are, all of them, ultimately, as flimsy as London Bridge; our cities but tents set up in the cosmos. We pass. But what the bee knows, the wisdom that sustains our passing life — however much we deny or ignore it — that for ever remains.

P. L. Travers
