Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.
Wreck
The stars shall fade away, the sun himself
Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years;
But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth,
Unhurt amidst the war of elements,
The wreck of matter, and the crush of worlds.
Addison.—Cato, Act V. Scene 1.
