Religion in its humility restores man to his only dignity, the courage to live by grace. - George Santayana

Never since the heroic days of Greece has the world had such a sweet, just, boyish master.

With you a part of me hath passed away;
For in the peopled forest of my mind
A tree made leafless by this wintry wind
Shall never don again its green array.
Chapel and fireside, country road and bay,
Have something of their friendliness resigned;
Another, if I would, I could not find,
And I am grown much older in a day.
But yet I treasure in my memory
Your gift of charity, and young hearts ease,
And the dear honour of your amity;
For these once mine, my life is rich with these.
And I scarce know which part may greater be, — What I keep of you, or you rob from me.
