"After all, there is a grain of sense in it."-Popular remark

If the title seems to claim too much, let the reader say
how less could well be claimed than the sense which is
not only reason, but also the barest meaning which words
can give. If a thing don't stand to reason,
at least it must kneel to sense.

Shadows we are and
Like shadows depart!
