In memory of John Greenleaf Whittier, September 7, 1892," and this verse: "Some sweet morning, yet in God's Dim aeonian periods, Joyful I shall wake to see Those I love, who rest in Thee.

His soul had moved amid similar evocations in some aeonian past, whence now the sand was being cleared away.

If the days of Genesis mean indefinite periods of aeonian duration, how is the seventh day of rest to be understood?

With what wings   Would she come forth to greet the aeonian summer?

That a thing must cease takes from it the joy of even an aeonian endurance—for its kind is mortal; it belongs to the nature of things that cannot live.
