Harriet Beecher Stowe: The longest day...

Source: NOVELISTS

The longest day must have its close -- the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning. An eternal, inexorable lapse of moments is ever hurrying the day of the evil to an eternal night, and the night of the just to an eternal day.

-- Harriet Beecher Stowe, (Jun 14 1811-1896), US author; She aroused considerable anti-slavery feeling before the Civil War with Uncle Tom's Cabin, 1852.
