" God will never quench His spark divine, 

 Whether within some glorious orb it shine, 

 Or lighten up the spaniel's tender gaze, 

 Who leads his poor blind master through the maze 

 Of this dark world ; and when the task is o'er, 

 Sleeps on his humble grave, to wake no more." 



A. de Lamartine.
