"The laws of nature are just, but
terrible. There is no weak mercy in
them. Cause and consequence are in
separable and inevitable. The ele-
ments have no forbeartance. The fire
burns, the water browns, the air con-
sumes, the earth buries, and perhaps
it would be we'll for our race if the
punishment Of crimes against the laws
of man were as inevitable as the laws
of naturc-were man as uncrring in
his judgments as nature" - Long
fellow.
The above was sent to US. Person
ally, we think it's very appropriate.
Whether or not the sender refers to
the punishment of the Axis war lords,
or whether it's just a gentle reminder
to get the stove pipes fixed, we do not
know. Either way, it's a good piece.
