THOSE LITTLE WORKSHOPS 95 



enormous quantities that " finished material " without 

 which neither we nor animals could feed and live ; without 

 which the whole world would soon become one vast 

 desert of death. 



But why, and how, and in what precise manner, the 

 great blazing Sun and the tiny invisible green granules 

 work together to bring about such grand and world- 

 wide results, no man living can fully explain. 



" We on this earth are servants of the Sun, 

 Out of the sun comes all the quick in me, 

 His golden touch is life to every one, 

 His power it is that makes us spin through space. 



What we may be, who knows ? But every one 

 Is dust on dust, a servant of the Sun."
