Out Among the Big Things, st. 3.
“
Out among the big things —
The heights that gleam afar —
A feller gets to wonder
What means each distant star;
He may not get an answer,
But somehow, every night
He feels, among the big things,
That everything’s all right.
— Arthur Chapman (poet)

The heights that gleam afar —

But somehow, every night

That everything’s all right." in the context of "Out Among the Big Things, st. 3." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
