Excerpt from The Etudes of Life

It was with him as with all geniuses, the best came to him after a period of despair and, for the rest, mere love of praise or a passing desire for amu ence never warped his soul or marred his manhood, though he had vagrant moods.

When well - earned appreciation came to him from other lands, he bowed his head and thanked God that at last they were beginning to love and honor his work, and he hastened again among the trees, for there in the soft stillness, with the crooning of the pines and the sweet notes of birds about him, his soul was filled with ecstasy. A wild rose, a water lily, a bit of heather, seemed to speak to him of God and His handiwork. He did not pray as many other men pray. He simply wrote down impres sions, and these bore their own stamp of spirituality.
