As Sir Edwin Arnold says: The simplest sights He met The Sower flinging seed on loam and rock; The darnel in the wheat; the mustard-tree That hath its seeds so little, and its boughs Widespreading; and the wandering sheep; and nets Shot in the wimpled waters drawing forth Great fish and small these, and a hundred such, Seen by us daily, never seen aright, Were pictures for Him from the page of life, Teaching by parable.
