A vision without a task is but a dream,
A task without a vision is drudgery,
And a vision and a task is the hope of the world.
~ from a church in Sussex, England (c. 1730)
Since I am coming to that holy room,
Where, with your quire of Saints
for evermore, I shall be made you
Music; As I come, I tune the
instrument here at the door.
And what I must do then, think
here before.
