A single swallow, it is said, devours ten millions of
insects
every year. The supplying of these insects I take to be
a signal
instance of the Creator’s bounty in providing for the
lives of His
creatures.

BRAHMA, n. He who created the Hindoos, who are
preserved by Vishnu and destroyed by Siva—a rather
neater division of labor than is found among the deities
of some other nations. The Abracadabranese, for example,
are created by Sin, maintained by Theft and
destroyed by Folly. The priests of Brahma, like those
of Abracadabranese, are holy and learned men who are
never naughty.
O Brahma, thou rare old Divinity,
First Person of the Hindoo Trinity,
You sit there so calm and securely,
With feet folded up so demurely—
You’re the First Person Singular, surely.
Polydore Smith
