The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise. However barren may your soul be, and however all your surroundings may seem to be stamped with death, God can come and make you happy and blessed, and...
