(Father Ryan)

"All Rests with those who Read. A work or thoughtIs what each makes it to himself, and mayBe full of great dark meanings, like the sea,With shoals of life rushing; or like the air,Benighted with the wing of the wild dove,Sweeping miles broad o'er the far southwestern woodsWith mighty glimpses of the central light—Or may be nothing—bodiless, spiritless."
