Men talk sometimes as if the passage of a ship through the sea
or a bird through the air is a fit symbol of man’s passage
through this world. I do not think so. A better symbol would be
the passage of a plow through the soil leaving a furrow behind.
What does the furrow include? All the memory of every beautiful
picture and landscape you have ever seen. It includes the memory
of every experience, every sweet association, every tie of love,
whether of father, mother, wife or children. All these, whether
living or dead, speak to you. They have a voice, a language that
you will understand.--GEORGE L. PERIN.
