Companions of the Way (Morning)Rejoicing in the habitable parts of His earth.
No scene is continually and untiringly loved, but one rich by joyful human labour: smooth in field; fair in garden; full in orchard; trim, sweet, and frequent in homestead; ringing with voices of vivid existence. No air is sweet that is silent; it is only sweet when full of low currents of under-sound—triplets of birds, and murmur and chirp of insects, and deep-toned words of men, and wayward trebles of childhood.
