The channel saith to the river: "Thus far and no farther." The fawn that is struck, the lion that strikes, the eagle dwelling above both, are controlled by fear.

The charioteer drives his steeds from behind and controls by rein and scourge.

But man is controlled from within and in front.

God does not scourge his children forward through whips of fear.

Hopes moving on before him lure him onward.
