What stays with you latest and deepest? of curious panics, of hard-fought engagements or sieges tremendous what deepest remains?

To me the sea is a continual miracle; The fishes that swim - the rocks - the motion of the waves - the ships, with men in them, what stranger miracles are there?

I speak the password primeval; I give the sign of democracy.

Every hour of every day is an unspeakably perfect miracle.

I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable.

I see behind each mask that wonder a kindred soul.

I find letters from God dropt in the street, and every one is sign'd by God's name.
