“There’s no earthly way of knowing…”“…which direction we are going… There’s no knowing where we’re rowing…” “…or which way the river’s flowing. Is it raining? Is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing… so the danger must be growing. Are the fires of hell a-glowing? Is the grisly reaper mowing? Yes, the danger must be growing for the rowers keep on rowing! And they’re certainly not showing… any signs that they are slowing!”
