THUNDER ALL ROUND!
'When it once begins to thunder,
You will hear it all around!'
And we waited—till in wonder

'Do but grasp into the thick of human life! Every one lives it—to not many is it known; and seize it where you will, it is interesting.'—Goethe.
'Successful.—Terminating in accomplishing what is wished or intended.'—Webster's Dictionary.
