Summary

This quote suggests that eventually, everything in life fades away, just like the wind sweeps away objects. It questions why things have to change or disappear, and implies that if the good and pleasurable experiences in life were permanent, they would lose their value and meaning.

Not proposing, however, at this time, and without a respectful and friendly communication with the Powers interested in this navigation, to fix on a distance to which we may ultimately insist on the right of protection, the President gives instructions to the officers, acting under this authority, to consider those heretofore given them as restrained for the present to the distance of one sea-league, or three geographical miles from the sea-shore. This distance can admit of no opposition as it is recognized by treaties between some of the Powers with whom we are connected in commerce and navigation, and is as little or less than is claimed by any of them on their own coasts.
