He plants it for posterity.' Let us continue to plant, and our children shall reap the harvest. That is our destiny as Democrats.

[from] irregular motions in unnatural postures of the body.

  When the soft silver
  Drips shimmering
  Over the garden nights,
  Death, the gray mocker,
  Comes and whispers to you
  As a beautiful friend
  Who remembers.

• The complex human eye harvests light. It perceives seven to ten million colors through a synaptic flash: one-tenth of a second from retina to brain.

• To those who live by the land there must always come times of hardship, of fear and of hunger, even as there are years of plenty. This is one of the truths of our existence as those who live by the land know: that sometimes we eat and sometimes we starve. We live by our labours fromone harvest to the next, there is no certain telling whether we shall be able to feed ourselves and our children, and if bad times are prolonged we know we must see the weak surrender their lives and this fact, too, is within our experience. In our lives there is no margin for misfortune.
