Souls of the Labadie Tract Quotes

“Now faith is not what we
hereafter have we have a
world resting on nothing

Rest was never more than
abstract since it is empty
reality we cannot escape”
― Susan Howe, Souls of the Labadie Tract

“We are all clothed with fleece of sheep I keep saying as if

I were singing as these words do. Throw a shawl over me

so you won't be afraid to sleep. I have already shown that

space is God.”
― Susan Howe, Souls of the Labadie Tract

“God was true everything was

a mother's role in childhood

Someone was in that garden

each knowing the other to be

entirely inasmuch what each

believed or what confessed for

cordial confinement is God's

glory each seed every word”
― Susan Howe, Souls of the Labadie Tract
