By George Matthew Adams in one and the rich color in the other are like two silent poems that I carry about with me, and which inspire me. The place of one's birth or where the happiest years of our youth may have been spent continually bring to mind the intimacy of loved ones and of many an inspiring and thrilling experience. What an intimate service memory enacts in our lives. We can live our youth and still have it, too. I can understand the intimate love that people have for a garden. Its color and variety of form, its fragrance and its actual personality, as expressed so vividly in every leaf and flower, appeal to one's highest senses. There is no unspoken language in this world so intimate as that one of flowers. It is a universal language, yet one must have the secret of interpretation in one's heart to understand that language. There are certain books I love so much that I never lose the opportunity to get every interesting edition of it, like the limited ones, the illustrated ones, and those in different languages. Thus does my intimacy with that book grow, and as it grows I am enriched.
