hearts loves remain...

Ralph Waldo Emerson on:

IMMORTALITY

Wilt thou not ope thy heart to know
What rainbows teach, and sunsets show ?
Verdict which accumulates
From lengthening scroll of human fates,
Voice of earth to earth returned,
Prayers of saints that inly burned, —
Saying, What is excellent,
As God lives, is permanent;
Hearts are dust, hearts' loves remain;
Heart's love will meet thee again.

(Rest in blessed Peace Judy)

Wilt thou not ope thy heart to know
What total solar eclipses teach, and *some* of them show?

Our ancient ancestors had a pretty good idea of what solar ann lunar eclipses teach and show. Here is a phoenix for Judy.
