Top Heaven And Earth In Jest Quotes

Heaven And Earth In Jest Quotes By Annie Dillard

In the Koran, Allah asks "the heaven and the earth, and all in between, thinkest thou I made them in jest?" It's a good question. What do we think of the created universe, spanning an unthinkable void with an unthinkable profusion of forms? Or what do we think of nothingness, those sickening reaches of time in either direction? If the giant water bug was not made in jest, was it then made in earnest? — Annie Dillard

Heaven And Earth In Jest Quotes By John Masefield

Heaven to me's a fair blue stretch of sky, Earth's jest a dusty road. — John Masefield
