Excerpt from Thoughts in a Library
This little book, with turned down leaves, was returned by a father after the funeral of his only child. With what hesitation did he give it up! What a fond, lingering look rested upon it! Dust is upon the brow of his angel boy, and his sweet eyes are closed forever; but those simple pages recall the hours when he played around the household hearth. Again he is seated upon his knee, and he hears again the prattle of his infant voice.
And thou, blest friend, called away in early manhood, this precious book which we read together, brings thee back from the spirit world. I see thee again in the old, familiar place, and watch the soul shining in thy face, as flame illumes an alabaster vase.
