Charles Kingsley Sands Quotations

Except a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! a message to us from the dead -- from human souls we never saw, who lived, perhaps, thousands of miles away. And yet these, in those little sheets of paper, speak to us, arouse us, terrify us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers.

O Mary, go and call the cattle home / And call the cattle home, / And call the cattle home,/ Across the sands of Dee.
