Sivu 44 - Goethe," mean ; to such men, among their many thoughts on the event, which are not to be translated into speech, may these few, through that imperfect medium, prove acceptable. " Death," says the Philosopher, " is a commingling of Eternity with Time ; in the death of a good man, Eternity is seen looking through Time.
