significance of things。 They do not grow weary nor miss step; nor do
they fall out of rank and sink by the wayside to be left contemplating the
moving procession。
Ah! that moving procession that has left me by the road…side! Its
fantastic colors are more brilliant and beautiful than the sun on the
undulating waters。 What matter if souls and bodies are failing beneath
the feet of the ever…pressing multitude! It moves with the majestic
rhythm of the spheres。 Its discordant clashes sweep upward in one
harmonious tone that blends with the music of other worldsto complete
God's orchestra。
It is greater than the starsthat moving procession of human energy;
greater than the palpitating earth and the things growing thereon。 Oh! I
could weep at being left by the wayside; left with the grass and the clouds
and a few dumb animals。 True; I feel at home in the society of these
symbols of life's immutability。 In the procession I should feel the crushing
feet; the clashing discords; the ruthless hands and stifling breath。 I could
not hear the rhythm of the march。
Salve! ye dumb hearts。 Let us be still and wait by the roadside。
