    And It-will-wash-no-more.”

    “The word by seers or sibyls told,
    In groves of oak, or fanes of gold,
    Still floats upon the morning wind,
    Still whispers to the willing mind.
    One accent of the Holy Ghost
    The heedless world hath never lost.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
