GREAT AND SMALL

There is no great nor small in Nature's plan,

Bulk is but fancy in the mind of man;

A raindrop is as wondrous as a star,

Near is not nearest, farthest is not far;

And suns and planets in the vast serene

Are lost as midges in the summer sheen,

Born in their season; and we live and die

Creatures of Time, lost in Eternity.

--Charles Mackay.
