“‘We want to show the world that the spirit of Him crucified may rule in a cotton-mill as fully as in the life of a saint.’ My darling, nobody but you would have had the courage to say that. We will take the sentiment as our rule of life.”
“And act on Rossetti’s beautiful words,” added Salome:
“And though age wearies by the way,
And hearts break in the furrow,
We’ll sow the golden grain to-day,
The harvest reap to-morrow!
Build up heroic lives, and all
Be like the sheathen saber,
Ready to flash out at God’s call,
Oh, Chivalry of Labor!”
