The mosses on the rock, as well as the trees that bend stately
above them, the birds that fly and sing in heaven, as well as
the clouds that gather and dissolve there, the mimosa that
closes its sensitive petals if a footfall approaches, and the
stars that reign silent on empyreal thrones--each must in turn
give witness to the Most High; till the frame of creation shall
be all eclaircised, not so much a pillar engraven around with
the trophies of omnipotence, as a solid but transparent sphere
of crystal, lighted from within by the calm thought of God!
