In the Laps of those Blessed Ones...

In the laps of those blessed ones dwelling in mountain caves with their minds fixed on the highest light, reposing birds drink fearlessly the water of tears of joy; but our life is spent in the enjoyment of the delights of play in the pleasure groves on shores of reservoirs of mansions fashioned in flights of our imagination.
