Capsules with hundreds of bright little seeds in each, out of which will spring the wiser, better England of the future.
Arthur Conan DoyleThe beginning of Christendom, is, strictly, at a point out of time. A metphysical trigonometry finds it among the spiritual Secrets, at the meeting of two heavenward lines, one drawn from Bethany along the Ascent of the Messias, the other from Jerusalem against the Descent of the Paraclete.

Though the night was made for loving, And the day returns too soon, Yet we'll go no more a-roving By the light of the moon.
