Foot-marks on stone! How plain and yet how strange! A bird track truly though of giant bulk, Yet of the monster every vestige else Has vanished. Bird, a problem thou hast solved Man never has: to leave his trace on earth To deep for time and fate to wear away.
Edward Hitchcock
Quote of the day
A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.
