And I need not remind you, our discount tickets for this sinking ship

Though sour grapes will turn to wine it's all just vinegar with time”

Its weight within the heart, but wore
Without, devotion's sign in glistening ruby bright;
The gall and vinegar they drank alone,
But to the world at large would only own
The wine of faith, sparkling with rosy light.”
