It ran a hundred years to a day?

Additional quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes

And silence, like a poultice, comes To heal the blows of sound.

The axis of the earth sticks out visibly through the center of each and every town or city.

So from the heights of Will
Life's parting stream descends,
And, as a moment turns its slender rill,
Each widening torrent bends, From the same cradle's side,
From the same mother's knee,
—One to long darkness and the frozen tide,
One to the Peaceful Sea!
