And but few of us linger now,
Like the prophets two or three berries
In the top of the uppermost bough.
(The Meeting)

The fire burns, the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth buries. And perhaps it would be well for our race if the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Man were as inevitable as the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Nature --were Man as unerring in his judgments as Nature.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
