" A garden is a beautiful book, writ by the ringer of God : every flower and every 

 leaf is a letter. You have only to learn them and he is a poor dunce that cannot, if 

 he will, do that to learn them and join them, and then to go on reading and reading. 

 And you will find yourself carried away from the earth by the beautiful story you are 

 going through. . . . And then there are some flowers that seem to me like overdudful 

 children : tend them but ever so little, and they come up and flourish, and show, as I 

 may say, their bright and happy faces to you." DOUGLAS JERROLD.
