Sea of Galilee...

“The Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea
are made of the same water.
It flows down, clean and cool,
from the heights of Herman
and the roots of the cedars of Lebanon.
The Sea of Galilee makes beauty of it,
the Sea of Galilee has an outlet.
It gets to give.
It gathers in its riches that it may
pour them out again to fertilize the Jordan plain.
But the Dead Sea with the same water makes horror.
For the Dead Sea has no outlet.
It gets to keep.”
- Harry Emerson Fosdick
