What learn we from the Past? the same Dull course of glory, guilt, and gloom I ask'd the Future, and there came No voice from its unfathom'd womb. The Sun was silent, and the wave; The air but answer'd with its breath But Earth was kind; and from the grave Arose the eternal answer Death! And this was all! We need no sage To teach us Nature's only truth!

"It recalls to my mind," said she, "those lines of Longfellow's, from the Coplas de Manrique. "`Our lives are rivers, gliding free, To that unfathom'd boundless sea, The silent grave! Thither all earthly pomp and boast Roll, to be swallowed up and lost In one dark wave." "I prefer," said I, "Tennyson's Brook.
"Things of life, and light, and motion, Spirits of the unfathom'd ocean, Hurrying on with curbless force, Like some rash unbridled horse; High in air their white crests flinging, And madly to destruction springing." These boiling breakers seem to shout and revel in a wild ecstasy of freedom and power; and you feel inclined to echo their shout, and rejoice with them.
"Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its fragrance on the desert air. "Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless breast The little tyrant of his field withstood, Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest, Some Cromwell, guiltless of his country's blood."
And then would come the night and the wonderful starlit heavens of the tropics " unfathom'd, untrod, Save by even' and morn and the angels of God."
"The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean" hide the bones of their helpless victims, who shall arise at the judgment-day to testify against them. On May 7, 1915, the passenger liner Lusitania, unarmed, was sunk without warning by a German U-boat off the Irish coast. One hundred and fourteen Americans men, women, and little children, lawful and peaceful travellers were drowned
