I know of no teachers so power...

I know of no teachers so powerful and persuasive as the little army of specialists. They carry no banners, they beat no drums; but where they are men learn that bustle and push are not the equals of quiet genius and serene mastery.

Our dead brothers and sisters still live for us and bid us think of life, not death-of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of Spring.

October, the extravagant sister, has ordered an immense amount of the most gorgeous forest tapestry for her grand reception.
