"The
presence of a wise population implies the search for happiness as well as for
food.
The desire of he heart is also the light of
the eyes.
No scene is continually and untiringly loved,
but one rich by joyful human labor---
Smooth field; fair in garden; full in
orchard; trim, sweet and fragrant in homestead.
No air is sweet that is silent; it is only sweet
when full of low currents of under-sound.
Murmur and chirp of insects, deep-toned words
of men, wayward trebles of childhood.
As the art of life is learned, it will be
found at last that all lovely things are also necessary -----
The wild-flower by the wayside, as well as
the tended corn, the wild-creatures of the forest, as well as the tended
cattle.
Man does not live by bread alone, but by
every wondrous word and
unknowable
work of God." Ruskin.
