Infancy is particularly interested in the diffusion of the new principles. See the 'Bloody Buoy.' See also the following description and prediction:
'Here Time's huge fingers grasp his giant mace, And dash proud Superstition from her base; Rend her strong towers and gorgeous fanes, &c. &c. &c. &c. 'While each light moment, as it passes by, With feathery foot and pleasure-twinkling eye, Feeds from its baby-hand with many a kiss The callow nestlings of domestic bliss.' Botanic Garden.
