The Christian Year - John Keble

Excerpt from The Christian Year: Thoughts in Verse for the Sundays and Holy Days Throughout the Year
Its still small voice is often heard Whispering a mingled sentiment Twixt resignation and content.
But it is the resignation of a very sensitive soul, which has felt at once the brightness of life and its sorrow, and which in both has stayed itself Upon the power of God. There is calm, but it is the calm not of a stagnant pond but of a mountain stream which has started as a bright ashing waterfall amid the trees, has forced its course over a rocky bed, and is just emerging, broad, calm, and clear, into the channel in the valley.
In reading the book once more with a view to this edition, I have been much struck with three points which justify a belief in its per manent value, and which may help those who wish to gain devotional aid from its use.
