"Every man carries with him through life a mirror, as unique and impossible to get rid of as his shadow."

The continuity of life is never broken; the river flows onward and is lost to our sight, but under its new horizon it carries the same waters which it gathered under ours, and its unseen valleys are made glad by the offerings which are borne down to them from the past,--flowers, perchance, the germs of which its own waves had planted on the banks of Time.

— John Greenleaf Whittier
