“As for the river, it just kept moving,as river do--as rivers do. Under the logs, the body of the young Canadian moved with the river, which jostled him to and fro--to and fro.

Against these even a flaming sword cannot prevail, but only that portion of good in all men's hearts whose flame can never be quenched.”
