more bracing, that the clouds gather more frequently below than
above, that the sun is warmer than before and that you not only get
a clearer view of Heaven, but that you gain a wider view of earth,
and that your horizon is perpetually growing larger. The earth is
like a beautiful bride, who needs no man-made jewels to heighten her
loveliness and if nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth
knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing life would not worth
