Do our black faces search the empty sky?
Is there something we have forgotten? some precious thing
We have lost, wandering in strange lands?”

When the “Piccadilly Daisy”
Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
And I think the water downed ‘em;
For they never, never found ‘em,
And I know they didn’t come ashore with me.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
“The march of the human mind is slow.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
