• Is there a rarer being,
  Is there a fairer sphere
  Where the strong are not unseeing,
  And the harvests are not sere;
  Where, ere the seasons dwindle
  They yield their due return;
  Where the lamps of knowledge kindle
  While the flames of youth still burn?

• We are the heirs of the ages; but the estate is entailed, as large estates frequently are, so that while we inherit the earth, the great round world which is God's footstool, we have only the use of it while we live and must pass it on to those come after us.
