W.H. Auden: Prayer
Posted by phdchannelnz under Quotations | Tags: Prayer, W.H. Auden |Leave a Comment
“To pray is to pay attention to something or someone other than yourself. Whenever a man so concentrates on his attention — on a landscape, a poem, a geometrical problem, an idol, or the True God — that he completely forgets his own ego and desires, he is praying (W.H. Auden: Quoteland).
