LOOK!
You have never looked.
Not a single thing in this great world have you seen as it ought to be seen.
You have grown up near-sighted, and have never so much as held the glasses to your eyes.
With them you would behold other trees and mountains;
The wagging tail of a dog, the hop of a song-sparrow. would seem deep and wonderful;
The human face would be transfigured, and reveal unwonted mysteries.

Look!
Open the eyes of love and see a new heaven and a new earth.
