For as old Atlas on his broad neck places Heaven's starry globe, and there sustains it,— so Do these upbear the little world below Of Education, — Patience, Love, and Hope. Methinks, I see them...
Page 88 - Come, brightly wafting through the gloom Our peace-branch from above!' Then sorrow, touched by Thee, grows bright With more than rapture's ray ; As darkness shows us worlds of light We never saw by day ! • Thomas Moore, 1779—1852.
