Today, as never before, the world is brimming over, palpitant with the fullness. And yet so many of us fail to sense it, to so many of us a primrose is but a primrose, a fallen leaf but a dead thing. In the rush of modern life, with its insistent demands upon our time and attention, driving ourselves from one self-made duty to another, we have missed the glory of the sunshine, the fragrance of the flowers, the beauty and charm and joy that are all about us.”

From: April 23, 1926 edition of the Mineola Monitor.
