“Steam was till the other day the devil which we dreaded. Every pot made by any human potter or brazier had a hole in its cover, to let off the enemy, lest he should lift pot and roof and carry the house away.”

When clouds obscure the sun our shadow flees.
So Fortunes smiles the fickle crowd pursues,
But swift is gone whenever she veils her face.”
