--Milton, Paradise Lost, Book I.
| Truth Endureth Forever. | [139 S.A.] |
"It fortifies my soul to know
That, though I perish, Truth is so:
That, howsoe'er I stray and range,
Whate'er I do Thou dost not change.
I steadier step when I recall
That, if I slip, Thou dost not fall."
--Arthur Hugh Clough, Ambarvalia.
| The Unknown God. | [407 L.J.] |
"Greece, Egypt, Rome,--did any god
Before whose feet men knelt unshod
Deem that in this unblest abode
Another scarce more unknown god
Should house with him, from Nineveh?"
--Rossetti, The Burden of Nineveh.
| Unto Seventy Times Seven. | [186 L.J.] |
"We poor ill-tempered mortals--must forgive,
Though seven times sinning threescore times and ten."
--Holmes, Manhood.
