Series: Awe & Wonder Journal-1
Whitman's morning glories...
Two Quotes to Inspire You
There was a child went forth every day,
And the first object he look’d upon, that object he became,
And that object become part of him for the day or a certain part of the day,
Or for many years or stretching cycles of years,
The early lilacs became part of this child,
And grass and white and red morning glories, and white and red clover…
—Walt Whitman
Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
