(VIII) 
“Wo?idrous truths, and manifold as wondrous, 
God hath written in those stars above; 
But not less in the bright flowerets under us 
Stands the revelation of His love.”

“In all places, then, and in all seasons, 
Flowers expand their light and soul-like wings, 
Teaching us, by most persuasive reasons, 
How akin they are to human things 
— Longfellow.
