Notes

  • Epigraph: There is no past; from nature's birth/ Days, months, years, ages, till the end/ Of these revolving heavens and earth/ All to one centre tend;/ And having reached it late or soon,/ Converge, as in a lens the rays,/ Caught from the fountain light of noon,/ Blend in a point that blinds the gaze: /What has been is - what is shall last-/ The present is the focus of the past.
  • Letter dated: Haydonton, Sept. 6, 1843
