Sobre este artículo
Cold is the Druid's altar-stone,
Its vanished flame no more returns,
But ours no chilling damp has known,
Unchanged, unchanging still it burns
So let our broken circle stand
A wreck, a remnant, yet the same
While one last, loving, faithful hand
Still lives to feed its altar flame
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Boston, March 17th 1888
Tipped in at the back is a leaf in the author's hand: "J.R. Kendall Esq, 29 Pemberton Square, With the thanks of O. W. Holmes" BAL 9006
