And Christians love in the turf to lie,
Not in watery graves to be—
Nay, the very fishes would sooner die
On the land than in the sea.
Thomas Hood.
There are two things that fill my soul with a holy reverence and an ever-growing wonder: the spectacle of the starry sky, that virtually annihilates us as physical beings; and the moral law which raises us to infinite dignity as intelligent agents.
