The past and thence I will essay to glean
A warning for the future, so that man
May profit by his errors, and derive
Experience from his folly;

Is equal to the will, the human soul
Requires no other heaven. [ Shelley ]

When I take the history of one poor heart that has sinned and suffered, and represent to myself the struggles and temptations it has passed through, the brief pulsations of joy, the feverish inquietude of hope and fear, the pressure of want, the desertion of friends. I would fain leave the erring soul of my fellowman with Him from whose hand it came. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]
