"We must leave the discovery of this mystery, like all others, to time, and accident, and Heaven's pleasure."
Mystery

Wonder

Social
"Life is made of ever so many partings welded together."
Life
"The boy was lying, fast asleep, on a rude bed upon the floor; so pale with anxiety, and sadness, and the closeness of his prison, that he looked like death; not death as it shews in shroud and coffin, but in the guise it wears when life has just departed; when a young and gentle spirit has, but an instant, fled to Heaven: and the gross air of the world has not had time to breathe upon the changing dust it hallowed."
