“The pomp and splendour with which the earthly tabernacle of my grandmother was restored to its kindred elements … Death is an abstraction too pure for the comprehension of a child, and, when, in the gradual dawning of his intellect, it becomes intelligible … / Cyril Thornton.”

Fuller, Margaret. "Reading Notebook 1825–1827." Houghton Library, Harvard University.
