A superb serenity occupies the entire soul, just like these sweet spring mornings that are appreciated wholeheartedly.
I am so optimistic, my precious companion, so engrossed in the dazzling sensation of the insignificant peaceful presence, that I neglect my gift. Yes, get soulful in this beautiful setting!
I am alone, feeling the charm of the existence of this place, built for the ecstasy of souls like mine. I was so happy, my dear friend, so engrossed in the dazzling sensation of the insignificant serenity of existence, that I neglected my gift.
I should not be fit to paint a single stroke at the hour of display; yet I feel that I have never been a more distinguished craftsman than I am now.
When the beautiful valley around me was full of vapor, and the meridian sun shone on the upper surfaces of the impenetrable leaves of my trees, and only a few sporadic sparks entered the inner haven, I lay down in the tall grass beside the stream; and as I lay beside the soil, I noticed thousands of inconsiderable plants: and as I listened to the hum of the little worlds amongst the stalks, and familiarized myself with the countless incredible shapes of those creeping insects and flies when I feel that Almighty God is near me, who has fashioned us in His own image, and that all-encompassing breath of love sustains and delights us; and then, my companion, when darkness shrouds my eyes, and heaven and earth seem to linger in my soul, absorbing its hold like the shape of a precious fancied woman, and then I often longingly think, O God. If I could picture these notions, put on paper all the life that is so full and warm within me, so that it might be a reflection of my soul, as my soul is a reflection of the Eternal God!
Oh, my companion-but this is too much even for my qualities-I indulge under the quality of these dreams! A superb serenity occupies my whole soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I appreciate with all my heart. Alone, I feel the charm of the existence of this place, built for the ecstasy of souls like mine. Paragraph
I was so happy, my precious companion, so absorbed in the dazzling sensation of simple peaceful existence, that I lost sight of what I was capable of. I should have been unable to paint a single stroke at the moment of performance; and yet I felt that I had never been so distinguished a craftsman as I was now. When the beautiful valleys around me were full of vapor, and the meridian sun shone on the upper parts of the impenetrable branches of my trees, with only scattered shimmering rays of light entering the inner sanctuary, I lay down in the long grass beside the babbling brooks; and as I lay down close to the soil I noticed thousands of inconsiderable species of plants; and as I listened to the hum of the little worlds amongst the stalks and recognized the countless, indescribable forms of the reptiles.
