“And yet I think, if she were gone,
The world were better left alone.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“‘Line in nature is not found;
Unit and universe are round;
In vain produced, all rays return;
Evil will bless, and ice will burn.’
As Uriel spoke with piercing eye,
A shudder ran around the sky;”
