It should be a genial and ameliorating influence in life; it should prompt good thoughts and remind him of Nature's unconcern: that he can watch from day to day, as he trots officeward, how the Spring green brightens in the wood or the field grows black under a moving ploughshare.
And though many a man has lost friend and comrade in the tragedy that calls them forth, and though many a brow clouds for the moment with the bitter news of such useless sacrifice, every eye brightens, every muscle seems to brace, every nerve and pulse to throb and thrill with the glorious excitement of quick assembly and coming action.
As if her baby ever could be dead! Sometimes I think he is more alive than if he had stayed here and got all snarled up in earthly things as so many do!" Conning came close to Lynda and drew her head back against his breast. "You are crying, darling!" he said. "It's it's Betty. Con, what is it about her that sort of brightens the way for us all, yet dims our eyes?" "She's very illuminating.

It is like a gleam of sunlight. Just now it was brown, like the rest of the scenery: look again, and there is an apparition of green grass.
