“Text: Psalm 119:19. I am a stranger on the earth, hide not Thy command ments from me.Are we what we dreamt we should be? No, but still the sorrows of life.. .,so much more numerous than we expected, the tossing to and fro in the world, they have covered it over, but it is not dead, it sleepeth.”

— Vincent van Gogh
