Description
On Education
By Elizabeth Bentley
December 1789
When infant Reason first exerts her sway,
And new-formed thoughts their earliest charms display;
Then let the growing race employ your care
Then guard their opening minds from Folly’s snare;
Correct the rising passions of their youth,
Teach them each serious, each important truth;
Plant heavenly virtue in the tender breast,
Destroy each vice that might its growth molest;
Point out betimes the course they should pursue;
Then with redoubled pleasure shall you view
Their reason strengthen as their years increase,
Their virtue ripen and their follies cease;
Like corn sown early in the fertile soil,
The richest harvest shall repay your toil.

I like this one very much, Guy! I especially like the mood you captured here in the night, as well as the point of view, perspective, and lighting. The fallout shelter sign particularly and effectively captures one's attention. F&V

Guy Ricketts replied:
This was actually a college I took some courses in earlier this year. Built in the 1920's, it apparently acquired a shelter during the Atomic Age. LOL Thank you for your kind words, Lois.
