Now, I've made very little changes, omissions mostly, the author would've forgiven that I think, were he still around.
See, if you recognize this text.  Anyone?

Francis P. Church,  "The New York Sun", 1897


......They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, ...whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if {he were not} There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in him! The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

Thank God! he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

All things considered not a bad Xmas this year... BUT thought i had it altogether when on Xmas Eve realized I didn't have the "card" for that special someone... what is it with you broads and the cards? so i walked my butt over to the Dollar Store around the corner and couldn't believe my eyes... the shelves were already stocked for Valentine's Day.... I think its a plot you women have with the card and candy companies to drive us men into an early but welcomed grave!  :P
