The promise was void
Title
The promise was void
Quotation
The promise was void, like so many other sweet, illusory promises of our childhood; void as promises made in Eden before the seasons were divided, and when the starry blossoms grew side by side with the ripening peach-- impossible to be fulfilled when the golden gates had been passed.
