"My burden is light," said the blessed Redeemer, a light burden indeed, which carries him that bears it. I have looked through all nature for a resemblance of this, and seem to find a shadow of it in the wings of a bird, which are indeed borne by the creature, and yet support her flight towards heaven.
"Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers" by Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, (p. 88), 1895.
