where you find a marble story Of heaven,
blast it, and where you find over little
child's grave "Suffer little children to
come unto me-" substitute the words
"delusion" and ''sham," and where you
find an angel in marble, strike off the
wing, and when you come to family
vault, chisel on the door: "Dead once,
dead forever"
