EIGHT: They find heavenly symbols in everyday occurrences: the sun at noon, the dawn, the landscape, and the beauty of nature. These signs evoke awe and wonder, hinting at a paradise beyond our earthly understanding.

FIVE: The Orchard, when the Sun is on— The Triumph of the Birds When they together Victory make— Some Carnivals of Clouds— The Rapture of a finished Day— Returning to the West— All these—remind us of the place That Men call "paradise"— Itself be fairer—we suppose—
