"Thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace." -JOB. v. 23, 24.
LOVE had he found in huts where poor men lie;
His daily teachers had been woods and ills,
The silence that is in the starry sky,
The sleep that is among the lonely hills.
-W. WORDSWORTH
THAT spirit which suffices quiet hearts, which seems to come forth to such from every dry knoll of sere grass, from every pine stump, and half-embedded stone, on which the dull March sun shines, comes forth to the poor and hungry, and to such as are of simple taste. If thou fill thy brain with Boston and New York, with fashion and covetousness, and wilt stimulate thy jaded senses with wine and French coffee, thou shalt find no radiance of wisdom in the lonely waste of the pine-woods.
-R. W. EMERSON
