| QUOTATION: | When winds are raging o’er the upper ocean And billows wild contend with angry roar, ’T is said, far down beneath the wild commotion That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore. Far, far beneath, the noise of tempests dieth And silver waves chime ever peacefully, And no rude storm, how fierce soe’er it flyeth Disturbs the Sabbath of that deeper sea. 1 |
