Leaves of Life - March 8
March 8
O boundless self-contentment voiced
In flying air-born bubbles!
O joy that mocks our sad unrest,
And frowns our earth-born troubles!
In flying air-born bubbles!
O joy that mocks our sad unrest,
And frowns our earth-born troubles!
One may secure and preserve that repose in the turbulence of a great city—as Shakespeare surely found and preserved it in the London of the sixteenth century. For repose does not depend on external conditions; it depends on sound adjustment to tasks, opportunities, pleasures, and the general order of life.
—Hamilton Mabie.
