“He mounts the storm, and walks upon the wind.”
“Laugh where we must, be candid where we can, But vindicate the ways of God to man.”
“Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutored mind Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind.”
“To Him no high, no low, no great, no small; He fills, He bounds, connects and equals all!”
