Show Tht Radiance of Mind. A superior and commanding human intellect, a truly great man when heaven vouchsafes so rare a gift is not a temporary flame burning bright for awhile, and then expiring, giving place to eternal darkness. It Is rather a spark of fervent heat, as well as radiant light, with power to onklndle the common mass of human mlad; so that, when it gltmmerS In its own decay, and Anally goes out In death, no night follows; but It leaves the world all light, all on fire, from the potent contact of Us own spirit. Daniel Webster. |
