    EPIGRAPH: As the fresh Rose-bud needs the silvery shower, The golden sunshine, and the pearly dew, The joyous day with all its changes new, Ere it can bloom into the perfect flower; So with the human rose-bud; from sweet airs Of heaven will fragrant purity be caught, And influences benign of tender thought Inform the soul, like angels, unawares.
