• Gloria a Dios por las cosas moteadas-
  Por los cielos de dos colores como una vaca atigrada;
  Por los lunares rosados en punteado sobre las truchas que nadan;
  por las castañas que caen del carbón; por las alas de los pinzones;
  Paisaje trazado y reconstruido: pliegue, barbecho y arado;
  Y todos los trádes, sus aparejos y guarniciones.
  
  Todo lo contrario, original, sobrio, extraño;
  Todo lo que es voluble, pecoso (¿quién sabe cómo?)
  Lo rápido, lo lento; lo dulce, lo agrio; lo deslumbrante, lo tenue;
  Aquel cuya belleza ya no cambia:
  Alabado sea.

• What are works of art for? to educate, to be standards. To produce is of little use unless what we produce is known, is widely known, the wider known the better, for it is by being known that it works, it influences, it does its duty, it does good. We must try, then, to be known, aim at it, take means to it. And this without puffing in the process or pride in the success.

• When a man is in God's grace and free from mortal sin, then everything that he does, so long as there is no sin in it, gives God glory and what does not give him glory has some, however little, sin in it. It is not only prayer that gives God glory but work. Smiting on an anvil, sawing a beam, whitewashing a wall, driving horses, sweeping, scouring, everything gives God some glory if being in his grace you do it as your duty.
