    “There is a Book
    By seraphs writ with beams of heavenly light,

    And since thou own’st that praise, I spare thee mine.”

    In fragile bark o’er a tempestuous sea
    The common harbor, where must rendered be
    Account for all the actions of the past.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
