"There is river so narrow that
bird may fly across it with one watt
of its wings and men may even speak
across it. There are thousands of
people on each side of this river, but
they are as far apart as right from
wrong.
"There is an ocean so wide that no
gull can fly across it, and it takes great
liners many days to sail across. There
are thousands of people on each side
Of this ocean, but they are so close
that their hearts touch"
