“Nulla dies sine lineâ.”
Vetus Prov
Wondrous the things of giant birth
That range the sea—the air—the earth;
But mightier powers for ill or good
Work by an insect multitude.
That range the sea—the air—the earth;
But mightier powers for ill or good
Work by an insect multitude.
Great deeds of Martyrdom and Grace
As marvels fill all time and space;
But deeds and thoughts of hourly range
Work transformation's endless change.
As marvels fill all time and space;
But deeds and thoughts of hourly range
Work transformation's endless change.
“Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give
account thereof in the day of Judgment.”
S. Matt. xii. 36.
The shadows of eternity
Which on each little action lie,
Enlarge all trifles as they pass,
As mirror'd in a watery glass.
Which on each little action lie,
Enlarge all trifles as they pass,
As mirror'd in a watery glass.
As multitudinous waters' sound
Is heard like voice of God profound,
Thus countless waves that rise and shine
Make up the destiny divine.
