On one of these occasions, as I was sauntering along the edge of Eaglesham-wood, looking at the industrious bee going from flower to flower, and the idle butterfly, that layeth up no store, but perisheth ere it is winter, I felt as it were a spirit from on high descending upon me, a throb at my heart, and a thrill in my brain, and I was transported out of myself, and seized with the notion of writing a book but what it should be about, I could not settle to my satisfaction.
"For our possessions are in heaven. This statement is distinct enough, as is also the one: "He who longs to be rich is like a man drinking sea water.
