"crammed with heaven" (3/721)

 
          "Earth’s crammed with heaven,
   And every common bush afire with God;
  But only he who sees, takes off his shoes,
 The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries,
    And daub their natural faces unaware
   More and more from the first similitude."
                   -from Aurora Leigh
                                by
              Elizabeth Barret Browning
