- Nothing
is as frustrating as arguing with someone who knows what he's talking
about.~Sam

were

children walk with Nature,
let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life,
their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains
and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that
death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life. ~John Muir.

experience
it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

AMERICAN GIRL
Here's to the dearest
Of all things on earth.
(Dearest precisely—
And yet of full worth.)
One who lays siege to
Susceptible hearts.
(Pocket-books also—
That's one of her arts!)
Drink to her, toast her,
Your banner unfurl—
Here's to the priceless
American Girl!
—Walter
Pulitzer.
