NATURE'S ONE 



STRAIGHT LINE 



DAYS IN MY GARDEN 



The sea's scintillating surface always gives a 

 feeling of security in the quiet strength of the low 

 hill ground, whose cliff-face holds its all-devouring 

 power within bounds. It is this distant view from land 

 of the moving ocean, eternally restless, which seldom 

 fails to give a feeling of mental rest and calm a 

 paradox indeed and it is here also that when Nature 

 uses her one long, seemingly straight line, she does 

 this with the minimum of simplicity and the maximum 

 of effect, so great is her art. What can surpass in 

 beauty the clearly defined line of the sea's horizon? 

 What more simple than that thinnest edge where 

 blue meets blue and nothing more ?
