Letter "T" » The Rocks
«Metaphorically these essays move as a quiet but observant coast-guard cutter among the rocks and islands up and down the littoral of our life.»
«God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.»

«In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; / To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.»
«Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks? / Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these? / Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.»
«He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.»
«He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.»
«How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied? / For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.»
«For a tree to become tall it must grow tough roots among the rocks.»
«He had mittens, Minjekahwun, Magic mittens made of deer-skin; When upon his hands he wore them, He could smite the rocks asunder, He could grind them into powder»
«If from the top of a long cold barren hill I hear the distant whistle of a thrush which seems to come up from some warm woody shelter beyond the edge of the hill, this sound coming faint over the rocks with a mingled feeling of strangeness and joy, the idea of the place about me, and the imaginary one beyond will all be combined together in such a manner in my mind as to become inseparable.»
