Excerpt from Selected Poems and Songs The great poem of Egeria and its prose Introduction are equally admirable. They rejoice the very marrow of my bones, because I have the strongest conviction that they em body splendid and most valuable truths which will become more palpable to ordinary man as civilization and moral science advance. If you have read my late brother's letters, you will have seen that his whole being was penetrated by the perception and conviction that a Divine wisdom and goodness have constituted and pervaded every department of creation.
