A Thrilling Fact
By Jane Ellis Joy.
“Suppose,” said the wise orator,—“though ’t is
a thought stupendous—
Suppose a baby one year old, with arms of the
tremendous
Length of ninety-three odd million miles,
Should, in a freak of fun,
Reach up and touch the sun?
That child would be
253
Years old,
I ’m told,
Before it learned
its hand was burned!”
