And to its littleness, the human
heart and to its right to grief,

52
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:00,700
the Earthly life Only when
eternity takes time by the hand

53
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,800
only when Infinity wedge, the
finite thought.

54
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,600

Meanwhile the gods upon the

56
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,100
earth.

00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:39,600
wounded tread Earth soil.
Man's mind, shall admit.
