of the bird may assure it of the possession of its mate, and of undis- 

 turbed increase; yet in all these things there lies a deeper activity, 

 for which all evolution signifies only a portion of the journey. 

 And although we cannot perceive and understand this activity, we 

 can feel it. And to feel it is truly to comprehend the beauty of Nature, 

 and to attune our souls to her most intimate harmonies. So we 

 ourselves become instruments that play their part in the great 

 symphony, to our own supremest joy.
