Nikos Kazantzakis Quotes
With The Passage Of Days In This Godly Isolation [desert], My Heart Grew Calm. It Seemed To Fill With Answers. I Did Not Ask Questions Any More; I Was Certain. Everything - Where We Came From, Where We Are Going, What Our Purpose Is On Earth - Struck Me As Extremely Sure And Simple In This God-trodden Isolation. Little By Little My Blood Took On The Godly Rhythm. Matins, Divine Liturgy, Vespers, Psalmodies, The Sun Rising In The Morning And Setting In The Evening, The Constellations Suspended Like Chandeliers Each Night Over The Monastery: All Came And Went, Came And Went In Obedience To Eternal Laws, And Drew The Blood Of Man Into The Same Placid Rhythm. I Saw The World As A Tree, A Gigantic Poplar, And Myself As A Green Leaf Clinging To A Branch With My Slender Stalk. When God's Wind Blew, I Hopped And Danced, Together With The Entire Tree.
