"I saw Eternity the other night,

Like a great ring of pure and endless light,

All calm, as it was bright;

And round beneath it, time in hours, days, years,

Driven by the spheres."

-Henry Vaughan, 1622-1695



The remainder of the former village of Salem, Georgia...

...before nightfall.





"Dear, beauteous Death!

the jewel of the just,

Shining nowhere, but in the dark;

What mysteries do lie beyond thy dust..."

-Henry Vaughan, 1622-1695
