Notes: "The world in its boyhood was credulous, and dreaded the vengeance of the stars; The world in its dotage is not wiser, fearing not the influence of small things; Planets govern not the soul, nor guide the destinies of man, But trifles, lighter than straws, are leavers in the building up of character."
