Of what an easy quick access,
My blessed Lord, art thou! how suddenly
May our requests thine ear invade!
To show that state dislikes not easiness.
If I but lift mine eyes, my suit is made:
Thou canst no more not hear, than thou canst die.
-- George Herbert, "Prayer (2)" in George Herbert: The Complete English Works
