To have the right to go right or left, as man would; to pluck the flowerets by the roadside at will; to throw man upon the grass, and breathe the free air; to speak with whom man would; to feel the heaving of the salt sea under man's boat, and to hear the clash of arms and see the chargers and the swords and the nodding plumes file out of the postern O Perrote, Perrote!"
Even as in life do the great dominant passions love, ambition, desire of power, or gold, or fame, or knowledge form the proud background to the brief-lived flowerets of our youth, lift our eyes beyond the smile of their bloom, catch the glint of a loftier sunbeam, and yet and yet exclude our sight from the lengths and the widths of the space which extends behind and beyond them.
Each man sings according to his voice, and gives in proportion to his means. The maidens of England strewed roses before her feet at Gravesend when she landed. Mr. Tupper, with the million and odd welcomes, may be compared to the thundering fleet; Mr. Chorley's song, to the flowerets scattered on her Royal Highness's happy and carpeted path: "Blessings on that fair face!
One feels In beauteous vale, on Alpine snow-clad heights, In splendours of the days or glories of the nights, In frowning rocks o'erhanging depths below, On mossy banks where sweet flowerets grow, We see God's power and love infinitely wide "Thy Truth, most mighty Lord, on every side."
What glimmers there so shining The reedy growth entwining? Is it a blossom white as snow Fallen from heav'n here below? It is an infant, frail and dear! With flowerets playing in its dreams And grasping morning's golden beams; Oh! whence, sweet stranger, art thou here? From some far-off and unknown strand, The lake has borne thee to this land.
When done, remove the cloth, pour two tablespoons of lemon juice over the cauliflower and set it on the ice to cool. When ready to serve, separate the flowerets, lay them on lettuce leaves, cover with French dressing and sprinkle one tablespoon of chopped parsley over the top. Use small eggplants. Place on end of toasting fork under broiler gas flame until the peel is black; remove the skin.
"One man is too grave, another is too gay; This man has his hothouse, that man not a penny: Flowerets too are common in the month of May, And the things most common least attract the many. "Ill, on London crossings, Fares the sale of posies; Age disdains the heart's-ease, Youth rejects the roses."
So let us thank our God to see His Word returned at last. The Summer now is at the door, The Winter is forepast, The tender flowerets bloom anew, And He, who hath begun, Will give His work a happy end.
And thou, brave tenant of the tomb! Repine not if our clime deny, Above thine honour'd sod to bloom The flowerets of a milder sky. These owe their birth to genial May; Beneath a fiercer sun they pine, Before the winter storm decay; And can their worth be type of thine?
In the gifts of my love she was dressed, My plumes o'er her summer hat quiver; The ribbons that flaunt in her breast Might bid her remember the giver! And still do they bloom on thy bosom, The flowerets I gathered for thee! Still as fresh is the leaf of each blossom, 'Tis the heart that has faded from me! Go and take, then, the incense they tender; Go, the one that adored thee forget!
