Excerpt from The English Language: An Introduction to the Principles Which Govern Its Right Use

OF all the wonderful gifts of man the most won derful is the gift of speech. The stars, Shining down upon us through awful spaces which even our fancy cannot measure; the frost pictures that nature traces in winter on lake, river, and pond, and on the window panes of our homes; the Cities which the wise ants build; the honey-domes of the bee; the forms and colors of the flowers; the journeys Of the birds, made in the ocean of air from the meadows of the South to the woods and barns of the North what wonderful things are these! And yet the language of man is equally wonderful, and holds as much of mystery and beauty.
