Requirement
by John Greenleaf Whittier 1881
We live by Faith; but Faith is not the slaveOf text and legend. Reason's voice and God's,
Nature's and Duty's, never are at odds.
What asks our Father of his children, save
Justice and mercy and humility,
A reasonable service of good deeds,
Pure living, tenderness to human needs,
Reverence and trust, and prayer for light to see
The Master's footprints in our daily ways?
No knotted scourge nor sacrificial knife,
But the calm beauty of an ordered life
Whose very breathing is unworded praise!--
A life that stands as all true lives have stood,
Firm-rooted in the faith that God is Good.
Heresy In Narnia?

#4 Kate Bush The Hounds of Love

I know everyone has this album in their little lists, but I suppose there is a good reason for it! For the longest time I thought that Kate Bush had only two good songs: The Hounds of Love and This Woman's Work. This album convinced me otherwise. Of course she has quite a few amazing songs outside of this album (The aforementioned Woman's Work -- probably my favorite song of all time, but also: Army Dreamers, Wuthering Heights, Deeper Understanding, The Man With The Child In His Eyes, etc.), so this album was no fluke, she knew what she was doing. But the difference is that she made the decision to do it! -- to take things to the next level, to take matter's into her own hands (programming beats on a Linn drum machine on her own), to strive to find her own sound (thanks in part to the Fairlight CMI). Of all her work this album specifically stands out as a truly cohesive, completed work -- conceptual even.
There's not really any special insight that I can give about this album. Everything that could ever be said about it has already been said so I'll just give it my stamp of approval (for whatever that's worth!) and move on. Please enjoy the wonderful video for The Hounds of Love:
