			| Quotation | I walked out in a broad open field in the East Farm (Linton's) and watched the high cool clouds, and said aloud several times the word "Revolution" to see how it sounded.  Then I read in the Book of the Poor in Spirit [by Johannes Tauler] how by many deaths we must come to see God. |
