To the silvery summer clouds, which .even while we g?ze at them shift their hues . and forms, dissolving-into air and light and rainbow shades? To theilay'-morn-lng flush with opening -blossoms and roseate dews? To a mountain streamlet, stream-let, now smooth, as a mirror In which the 'skies may rglass themselves and anon leaping and dancing in the sunshineor sun-shineor rather to the very sunshine Itself? For so her genial spirit touches Into life and beauty whatever It shines upon." .
