The Life of the Bee 



can need, let us go from reality to real- 

 ity seeking food for the incomprehensi- 

 ble flame, and thus, certain of having 

 fulfilled our organic duty, preparing our- 

 selves for whatever befall. Let us nour- 

 ish this flame on our feelings and passions, 

 on all that we see and think, that we hear 

 and touch, on its own essence, which is 

 the idea it derives from the discoveries, 

 experience and observation that result 

 from its every movement. A time then 

 will come when all things will turn so 

 naturally to good in a spirit that has 

 given itself to the loyal desire of this sim- 

 ple human duty, that the very suspicion 

 of the possible aimlessness of its exhaust- 

 ing effort will only render the duty the 

 clearer, will only add more purity, power, 

 disinterestedness, and freedom to the ar- 

 dour wherewith it still seeks.
