But felt through all this fleshly dresse
Bright shootes of everlastingness. [ Henry Vaughan ]

Alas! no fleshly pinion will so easily keep pace with the wings of the spirit. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]

This, therefore, is a law not found in books, but written on the fleshly tablets of the heart, which we have not learned from man, received or read, but which we have caught up from Nature herself, sucked in and imbibed; the knowledge of which we were not taught, but for which we were made; we received it not by education, but by intuition. [ Cicero ]
