Anyhow we never know where we must go, nor what guides we are to get - -people,storms, guardian angels, or sheep.

One day's exposure to mountains is better than cartloads of books. See how willingly Nature poses herself upon photographers' plates. No earthly chemicals are so sensitive as those of the human soul.
