torios led on by Handel and Hayden?
Were they fond of pictures? What RAJ
phacls pointing out skies with all col
ors wrought into chariot wheels, wings
of scraphim and coronations? Were
they fond of poetry? What eternal
rythms led on by John Milton? Shall
we pity our glorihed kindred? No, they
had better pity us? We, the shipwreck
ed and ON raft in the hurricane, look
ing out at them sailing on over calm
seas, under skies that never frowne6
with tempests we hoppled with chains;
they lifted by wings surely, the bit
terness of death is past"
