LIFE
Our brains are seventy-year clocks. The angel of life winds them up at onco and for all, theu closes the cases, and gives the key into the hand of the angel of resurrection. "Tie-tac, tic-tac!” goes the wheels of thought; our will cannot stop them; madness only makes them go faster. Death alone can brpalc into tho case, and, seizing the ever-swinging pendulum which we call the heart, silence at last .the clicking of tho tcrriblo escapement wo havo carried so long beneath our aching foreheads. —Holmes.
