Synopsis of the novel Tom Sawyer
That drop was falling when the pyramids were still new, when Troy fell, when the foundations of Rome were laid, when Christ was crucified, when the conquerors founded the Greek Empire, when Columbus sailed, and when the Lexington massacre was still news. It is falling now, and it will continue to fall when all these things become in the age of history, the twilight of tradition, and swallowed by the thick night of oblivion.

Does everything have a purpose and a mission? Has this drop been falling patiently for five thousand years, to be there when this human insect, who breathes it in, needs it? And does it have another important task to achieve after ten thousand years? It doesn't matter.

Many, many years have passed since the wretched half-breed carved the stone, so that the priceless drops might collect, but to this day, the longest thing a tourist stares at, when he comes to see the sights of McDougal's Cave, is that pathetic stone and the slowly falling water. Injun Joe's cup stands at the top of the list of the cave's wonders; even Aladdin's palace cannot compete with it.

Quotes from the book Tom Sawyer
Saturday morning arrived, and the whole world was bright and fresh; there was a song in every heart, joy on every face, and merriment in every step.
