LOT 777. PIKE AVENUE. Ah I how unjust to Nature and himselfIs thoughtless, thankless, iuconsislent man!Like ehiklrcii bahbling nonsense in llieir sports,We censure Nature for a span too short;That span too short, M-e tax as tedious too;Torture jnveiition, all expedients tire,To lash the lingering moments into speed,And whirl us (happy riddance) from REV. 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.
