242 THROUGH GLADE AND MEAD. 
Far above ocean and shore, and the peaks of the 
isles and the mainland ; 
Where no frost nor storm is, in clear blue windless 
abysses, 
High in the home of the summer, the seats of the 
happy Immortals, 
Shrouded in keen deep blaze, unapproachable.” 
They are full of fulfilment. The promise of other days 
is realized. They invite to rest after the burden and 
heat of the day. No other part of the year is just like 
them. It is always true that 
“The old order changeth, yielding place to new, 
And God fulfils himself in many ways, 
Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.” 
We have waited longer than usual for our last 
group of flowers, but they make a brave show when 
they appear.
