Oh, let me nestle near thee, within thy downy breast
where I may find sweet comfort
and peace within thy nest.
Oh, close thy wings around me
and keep me safely there,
for I am but a newborn and need thy tender care.

- Gracia Grindahl, WOV741

"There are two equal and opposite
errors into which our race can fall about the devils.
One is to disbelieve in their existence.
The other is to believe, and
to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them.
[The devils] themselves are equally pleased by both errors
and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight."
- C.S. Lewis
