I love the advice
of poets and artists, the way they look into life in order to squeeze out the
sweet nectar of living. Here is an example by Benson on how to look around as
one walks along the way.
"The things to look out for are little
accidents of light and color, little effects of chance grouping, the transfiguration
of some well known and even commonplace object, such as is produced by the
sudden burst into greenness of the trees that peep over some suburban garden
wall, or by sunlight falling, by a happy accident, on pool or flower. The curve
of a wood seen a hundred times before, the gentle line of a fallow, the still
sunset glow -- these will give ever new delights, and delights that grow with
observation and intuition."
