Nonprayers No Better Than Sheep and Goats

"More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and day. 
For what are men better than sheep or goats 
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer
Both for themselves and those who call them friend?"


The parting words of Arthur to his last knight in "The passing of Arthur" from Idylls of the King
