LOT 777. PIKE AVENUE.

WILLIAM ELLERY CHANNING, GREEN DRIER PATH. The sage, peer, potentate, king, conqueror! Death humbles these ; more barbarous Life the man! Life is the triumph of our mouldering clay : Death is the spirit infinite! divine ! Death has no dread but what frail Life imparls. Nor Life true joy but what kind death improves. No bliss has life to boast, till Dealh ran give Far greater. Lifes a debtor to the grave : Dark lattice ! letting in eternal day.
