My soul, what's lighter than a feather Wind. Than wind The fire. And what than fire The Mind. What's lighter than the mind A thought. Than thought This bubble world. What than this bubble Naught. (Francis Quarles)

My soul, what's lighter than a feather Wind. Than wind The fire. And what than fire The Mind. What's lighter than the mind A thought. Than thought This bubble world. What than this bubble Naught.
