own clear breast


own clear breast, originally uploaded by gawdessness.

“He that has light within his own clear breast
May sit in the centre, and enjoy bright day:
But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts
Benighted walks under the mid-day sun;
Himself his own dungeon.”

John Milton

Calla lily,
light of the early morning
