“As the strata of the earth preserve in succession the living creatures of past epochs, so the shelves of libraries preserve in succession the errors of the past and their expositions, which like the former were very lively and made a great commotion in their own age but now stand petrified and stiff in a place where only the literary palaeontologist regards them.” MadeAgeEarthPastCreaturesRegardErrorsLibraryFormerPreservesShelvesSuccessionLivelyLiving Creatures Book:On the Suffering of the World Source: On the Suffering of the World

“When winter stern, his gloomy front uprears, A sable void the barren earth appears; The meads no more their former verdure boast, Fast-bound their streams, and all their beauty lost; The herds, the flocks, in icy garments mourn, and wildly murmur for the Spring's return; From snow-topp'd hills the whirlwinds keenly blow, Howl through the woods, and pierce the vales below, Through the sharp air a flaky torrent flies, Mocks the slow sight, and hides the gloomy skies.” EarthLostAirSkyFrontsReturnSpringSightBoundsWinterBlowWoodsSnowFormerHillsStreamsVoidBoastMournGarmentsHerdsFlocksBarrenGloomyPierceHowlIcyMead Book:The Life and Poetical Works of the Rev.
