It is rarely the long-planned enjoyments, but rather 
the sum of varied and unexpected little happinesses, that 
make up pleasant living. The sky-bringing of a Gen- 
tian, a winter Dandelion against a wall, sweet, piercing 
sound-thrills of a whistling Cardinal, trill of a Song- 
sparrow outside the window, sunset on snow, flame of 
an autumn Maple, curling crests of salt waves, these 
balance a thousand disappointments. Earth yields its 
treasures to those who will see them.
