I think it's great, too, but I can't claim credit for applying it to this situation.
I saw it on someone elses signature and thought it was neat. Later when I decided to add it to mine, I searched online and found a create Melville site(thanks google).
It's certainly better than my old sig which said, "An elevator smells different to a dwarf."
Ah, those were simpler times....

"The Martyr" (excerpt)
There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand:
Beware the People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.
--Herman Melville (written after the assasination of President Abraham Lincoln)
" Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."
Hebrews 11:1
