I first read and discussed the book from which the quote comes in a class taught by Arthur Henry King (of Cambridge and former U.K. Assistant Director-General in charge of education who joined the Church) and Gary Browning (a professor of Russian literature). The class would often begin with prayer, a fact I suppose you would find ironic, but that I found inspiring. Thanks for the suggestion.

Don't mention it. They have old translations online that should be good enough for your purposes. This came form one of those.
