Excerpt from Memorials of Mary Wilder White: A Century Ago in New England It is not growing like a tree In bulk, doth make man better be; Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere! A lily of a day Is fairer far in May, Although it fall and die that night, It was the plant and ower of Light. In small proportions we just beauties see; And in short measures life may perfect be.
