Note from Matthew: Thanks to the wifey for turning me on to this lovely quote / poem from Elizabeth Barrett Browning. And this would be as good a time as any to say I welcome your suggestions for Great Quote Monday. Drop your favorite quotes (and anything else that’s on your mind) to me here.

Now, on with the show…

Earth’s crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God:
But only he who sees, takes off his shoes,
The rest sit round it, and pluck blackberries…

- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Aurora Leigh (1857) Bk. VII, l. 812-826

- Matthew Porter
