Travel "If the day an night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal - that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself.The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as tangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star dust caught, a segment of rainbow which I have clutched."
