From C.S. Lewis

Quote from C. S. Lewis
"These poets (the psalmists) knew far less reason than we for loving God. They did not now that He offered them eternal joy; still less that He would die to win it for them. Yet they express a longing for Him, for His mere presence... They long to live all their days in the Temple...Only there can they be at ease, like a bird in the nest (84:3). One day of these ' pleasures' is better than a lifetime spent elsewhere (84:10)"
