CASSIA GOLD

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 Gentian, 
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. ;
