there; when the clouds of winter cover it; that the dial is 

terrible。  The invisible shadow goes on and steals from us。  But 

now; while I can see the shadow of the tree and watch it slowly 

gliding along the surface of the grass; it is mine。  These are the 

only hours that are not wasted … these hours that absorb the soul 

and fill it with beauty。  This is real life; and all else is 

illusion; or mere endurance。  Does this reverie of flowers and 

waterfall and song form an ideal; a human ideal; in the mind?  It 

does; much the same ideal that Phidias sculptured of man and woman 

filled with a godlike sense of the violet fields of Greece; 

beautiful beyond thought; calm as my turtle…dove before the lurid 

lightning of the unknown。  To be beautiful and to be calm; without 

mental fear; is the ideal of nature。  If I cannot achieve it; at 

least I can think it。
