"To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it the more fit for its prime function of looking forward."--Margaret Fairless Barber

Hieroglyphics of Angels

"Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character, though few can decypher even fragments of their meaning."--Lydia M. Child

All My Life's a Circle

Moon rolls through the night-time till the daybreak comes around
All my life's a circle -- I can't tell you why
Seasons spinning round again, the years keep rolling by."—Harry Chapin
