To make a man confess a loving God you burn him!

To make a man confess a loving God you burn him!

“Out of hundred years, a few moments were made that stayed with me, not a hundred years.”
Me hicieron de cien años algunos minutos que se quedaron conmigo, no cien años.

Be it but for a day—
As absent as a hundred years
When it has rode away.”
