"After Summer succeeds
Barren winter with his wrathful nipping cold;
So cares and joys abound, as seasons fleet."
2 Hy. VI, ii-1.
"Whatever is great in human art is the impression of man's delight in God's work."
The Two Paths – Ruskin.
Good bye! Good bye!!! Good bye!!!!!
May Fortune of her best smile upon each of you, & may all the places that you meet be ports & happy havens.
"Heaven from thy endless goodness, send prosperous life, long and ever happy to" Car, Joseph, Kitty, and their sister Buddie. So wishes their affectionate & loving Father,
John B. Nash
