When summer lies upon the world, and in noon of gold,
Beneath the roof of sleeping leaves, where dreams of trees unfold,
When woodland halls are green and cool, and wind is in the west,
Come back to me, come back,
Say my land is best!
-J.R.R. Tolkien, The Ent and the Entwife
One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in His temple.
Psalm 27: 4
