^ CHILD OF NATURE 
oured with the beauty of the world 
and so penetrated by its vitality 
that, like the fauns and dryads, they 
are bound to the woods and fields 
and shun the homes and haunts of 
men, singing strange melodies, in 
which vibrate the undertones of a 
life hidden and obscure in glens 
and deep woods ; and others are so 
caught up in the movement of hu- 
man life and so passionately sympa- 
thetic with it that they have no 
heart for the joy of the world and 
no silent rapture for the vision of 
God. To each man, according to 
his nature, the mystery shows itself; 
and they are few and great in whose 
imagination all the lines of light 
meet and blend in perfect revelation.
