Deep peace I breathe into you,
O weariness here:
O ache here!
Deep peace a soft white dove to you:
Deep peace a quiet rain to you;
Deep peace an ebbing wave to you!
–William Sharp, Dominion of Dreams: Under the Dark Star, p. 423
[The reflective quotes this week are from a poem that appears in the 1895 novel Dominion of Dreams: Under the Dark Star by William Sharp. In 1978 it was set to music by John Rutter in a piece known as “Gaelic Blessing” or “Deep Peace.”]
