"The Long and Winding Road" from Let It Be (1970)
Lyrics, The Beatles
“He made the world to be a grassy road
Before her wandering feet.”
St. 3
The Rose (1893), The Rose of the World
Context: Bow down, archangels, in your dim abode:
Before you were, or any hearts to beat,
Weary and kind one lingered by His seat;
He made the world to be a grassy road
Before her wandering feet.
“The road of denial leads to the precipice of destruction”
“The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.”
