I never spoke with God
Nor visited in Heaven –
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the Checks were given —
(Dickinson)
Throughout the ages, people have attempted to convey with words the splendor and the awesomeness of the realm of God. In Hinduism, this paradise is depicted above the clouds. In Buddhism, there exists a vague non-astronomical series in the sky comprising heaven. Judaism conceives of heaven with its angelic entourage and this is taken over by Christianity.
