Excerpt from When They Were Children: Stories of the Childhood of Famous Men and Women The world has many stately palaces and great cathedrals that tower in their loveliness high above the humble dwellings around them, and their beauty and wonder are the delight of our eyes. We look up at their high walls, their gilded roofs, their slender spires pointing to the sky; we admire the great strength and delicate tracery of their stonework, and whether in the sunshine or under the stars, they stand out as monuments of what the mind of man has n power to plan and his hands have skill to fashion. But the foundations on which these buildings rest fag'e hidden from our eyes, buried deep down in the darkness. Yet though unseen and seldom thought of.
