    “Silent rushes the swift Lord
    Through ruined systems still restored,
    Broadsowing, bleak and void to bless,

    Waters with tears of ancient sorrow
    Apples of Eden ripe to-morrow.
    House and tenant go to ground,
    Lost in God, in Godhead found.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
