Excerpt from The South Since the War: As Shown by Fourteen Weeks of Travel and Observation in Georgia and the Carolinas The mills Of the gods grind Slow, but they grind exceed ing small. Be sure Charleston knows what these words mean. Be sure the pride of the eyes Of these men and women has been laid low. Be sure they have eaten worm wood, and their Souls have worn sackcloth. God's ways seem dark, but soon or late they touch the Shining hills of day. Henceforth let us rest content in this faith; for here is enough Of woe and want and ruin and ravage to satisfy the most insatiate heart, enough of sore humiliation and bitter overthrow to appease the desire of the most vengeful spirit.
