John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

8147 Charlotte Perkins Gilman 1860-1935 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:8147
AUTHOR:Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
QUOTATION:A million million worlds that move in peace;
A million mighty laws that never cease;
And one small ant-heap, hidden by small weeds,
Rich with eggs, slaves and store of millet-seeds.
    They sleep beneath the sod
    And trust in God.
ATTRIBUTION:A common Inference.
