"The world of nature, on which but now I gazed with wonder and admiration, sinks before me. With all its
abounding life and order and bounteous increase, it is but the curtain which hides one infinitely more perfect,
-the germ from which that other shall develope itself. My faith pierces through this veil, and broods over
and animates this germ. It sees, indeed, nothing distinctly; but it expects more than it can conceive, more
than it will ever be able to conceive, until time shall be no more."
