Thank you.

Do you know what Charles Dickens was refering to when he said, "These things shall never die"?

No ...... Does it not go with the graphic? : (

These Things Shall Never Die

The Bright, The Pure, The Beautiful
That stirr'd our Hearts in Youth
The Impulses to Wordless Prayer
The Dreams of Love and Truth
The Longing after somethings Lost
The Spirits Yearning Cry
The Striving after better Hopes -
These Things Can Never Die.
The timid Hand stretched forth to Aid

a brother in his need
The kindly Word in Griefs Dark Hour
That Proves a Friend Indeed
The Plea of Mercy softly Breath'd
when Justice threathens nigh
The Sorrows of a Contrite Heart -
These Things Shall Never Die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand

Shall find some work to do
Lose not a chance to waken Love
Be Firm, and Just, and True
So shall a Light that never Fade
Shine on thee from on High
and Angel Voices say to Thee
The Things Shall Never Die.

- Dickens
