    EPIGRAPH: Through winter-time we call on spring, And through the spring on summer call, And when abounding hedges ring Declare that winter's best of all; And after that there's nothing good Because the spring-time has not come -- Nor know that what disturbs our blood Is but its longing for the tomb.

    EPIGRAPH: Drowning is not so pitiful As the attempt to rise. Three times, 't is said, a sinking man Comes up to face the skies, And then declines forever To that abhorred abode Where hope and he part company,— For he is grasped of God. The Maker's cordial visage, However good to see, Is shunned, we must admit it, Like an adversity.
