THE SUMMIT OF THE YEARS 



She is of the remote and the phenomenal; seen 

 through man's eyes she is touched by a light that 

 never was on sea or land. Neither is life all of the 

 material, the tangible, the demonstrable; the witch- 

 ery of the ideal, the spiritual, at times hangs the bow 

 of promise against the darkest hours. 



I do not mean to be fantastic, or to give the fact 

 more sail than it can carry, yet I cannot but feel 

 that the rainbow has a deep significance, and in its 

 flitting, intangible, transmundane, yet beautiful and 

 constant character, may well be a symbol of much 

 that there is in nature and in life.
