. . - TIME Time is as feather footed as the snowg So light he treads we never hear him go, Save when we list the c1ook's untlrlng Tbeat Marking the swift iamlblcs of his feet. I -Clinton Scollard OH WORLD Oh world, 'thou choosest not the better part! It is not wisdom to be only wise, And on the innward vision close the eyes, But it is' wisdom to believe the heart. Columbus found a world, and had no chart, Save one thatlzjaith decxiphered in the skies,' To trust the soul's infvincifble surmise Was all hfls science and his only art. Our knowledge is a. torch of smokey pine That lights the'pa,thwa.y but one step ahead Across a. voidof mystery and dread. Bid, then, the tender light of faith to shine By whichuglone the mortal heart is led Unto the lnkmg of the thought divine. --GEORJG-E S-ANTAYAN A We all are 'blind until we see That in the human plan Nothing is worth the masking if t, It does not make the man. Why build these cities glorious If man unbuilded goes? In vain we build the world, unless The builder allso grows, -Edwin Markham A man may prophesy, With a. near aim, of the main chance of things As yet not come to life, which in their seeds And weak beginnings lie intreasured. Such things become the notch and ltr:-ood of time. SHAKESPEARE-KING HENRY IV . ,...u. J he s a i ,wi 9 M4 1? J i -ff .t 41 hilufgbe ji I'
