Wonder, Imagination And Surprise

A world without wonder,

and a way of mind without wonder,

becomes a world without imagination,

and without imagination humanity is a poor

and stunted creature.

Religion, poetry, and all the arts

have their sources in this upwelling

of wonder and surprise.

Let us thank God that so much will forever

remain out of reach, safe from our inquiry,

inviolate forever from our touch.

~ Henry Beston in Northern Farm
