THE DREAMS OF MAN.
Our dreams surround us with great wings, Beating about our hearts till wo Grow certain of deep hidden things That have life in eternity; We only glimpse (heir form between The* spell of waking and of sleepTime when the vast unseen is seen And shadows tryst with shadows keep, And every shadow is a plan Foreshadowing the fate of man. They are the guardians, theirs the hand 'That guides our hearts, as guides the wind Rain-laden clouds o'er sea and landWithout their vision we aro blind. They time the movement of each age, "Strike down the dead leaf from its branch, And they can loose thd bands that cage , The earthquake and the avalanche. They aro the shapers, we the form; The sand that scatters in the storm. —John B. Seton Peacer, in the London Observer.
