What is the piece read by Dr. Macy at the end of the episode “Fire From the Sky”?

From JBTDMC ON THE CJ FORUM It is a paraphrase of the poem, “A PARABLE OF IMMORTALITY” by Henry Van dyke… “A Parable of Immortality” by Henry Van dyke I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch, until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come together. Someone at my side says aloud, “There she goes.” Goes where? Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar, and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of destination as she was when she left my side. Her diminished size is in me, not in her, and just at the moment when we say, “There she goes,” other eyes are watching her coming, and other voices are ready to take up the glad shout “Here she comes!” Here is a link to the original poem: http://www.goingeasy.com/writeside_publishing/parable.html or htt
