Excerpt from The Gateway, Vol. 12: A Magazine of the Time Devoted to Literature, Economics and Social Service; March 1909
But who shall so forecast the years And find in loss a gain to match? Or reach a hand thro' time to catch The far-off interest of tears? Tennyson.
The drop of ink, That, falling, may make thousand, even mill ions, think. - Byron.
All things must change To something new, to something strange, Nothing that is can pause or stay; The moon will wax, the moon will wane, The mist and cloud will turn to rain, The rain to mist and cloud again, Tomorrow be today. -longfellow.
