LOOKING TOWARD SUNSET.

From Sources Old and New, Original and Selected.

By L. MARIA CHILD.

“When the Sun is setting, cool fall its gleams upon the earth, and the shadows lengthen; but they all point toward the Morning.”

Jean Paul Richter.

“I am fully convinced that the Soul is indestructible, and that its
activity will continue through eternity. It is like the Sun,
which, to our eyes, seems to set in night; but it has
in reality only gone to diffuse its light
elsewhere.”—Goethe.
