THINGS OF BEAUTY
The following is from the “Things of Beauty” column in the Christian Science "Monitor:
Grenville Ivleiser, well-known author, offers the following: Crackling log fire. . The blue of Naples Bay. Song of a kettle. The Acropolis by full moonlight. Breeze in the trees.
A reader who prefers to remain anonymous submits these: Dimpled pink cheeks of a child. The' evening star. Addison’s line: “Content thyself to be obscurely good.” *****
To these we add a few: Song of the thrush at dawn. Lincoln’s letter to Mrs Bixby. A child smiling through tears. Tho last faint whistle of a train. A scarlet maple. Emerson’s line: “We must be as courteous to a man as to a picture which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.” The Doxology played with deep organ.
