The Universe: Or, The Infinitely Great And The Infinitely Little, 1871

Goodbye Dolly, I must leave you

Though it breaks my heart to go

he’s near at hand yet here I stand my heart and mind at war… the times must change the world must change

I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.
