Epigraph |
- Illustration with caption from the author and epigraph:
-
-
Deep sunk in thought see Edward stand,
-
Revolving in his mind,
-
Which of the articles in his hand
-
He shall most useful find.
-
Like as the Sunflower spreads its leaves,
-
To meet the sun's bright rays,
-
The youthful mind with warmth receives
-
The Moral -- Truth conveys.
