Yet another sunrise shall lay another shadow before me, and that also shall be gathered at another noon.""Always have we been our own forerunners, and always shall we be. And all that we have gathered and shall gather shall be but seeds for fields yet unploughed. We are the fields and the ploughmen, the gatherers an the gathered.
