See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10. Mpmn It has long been my customeon moonlight nightseto go alone to the topmost step of the Rotunda and yielding dreamily to the lights and shadows of the Lawn, lose myself in silent meditation. Not many nights ago I sat there, immetsed in all the beauty of a hundred years. Supposing that I was alone, I was more than startled when a voice above and behind me said, in tones of immeasurable sweetness: III, too, come often here when the moon is full. See how the moonlight whispers through the trees and touches Earth and Heaven?
