Excerpt from American Biographical Panorama
A little babe lay in the cradle, and Hope came and kissed it. The babe grew to a child, and another friend came and kissed it. Her name was Memory. She said, Look behind thee, and tell me what thou seest. The child answered, I see a little book. Then Memory said, I will teach thee to get honey from thy book, that will be sweet to thee when thou art old. The youth became a man, and at length age found him. The old man laid down to die, and when his soul went from his body, Memory walked with it through the open gate of Heaven.
