Lest the Spirit of Wonder Be Lost

Carl SolomonInspired

Lest the spirit of wonder be lost Go to the beach and behold the infinity of the sands, Go to the library and consult the card catalogue and behold the magnificent variety of books and periodicals. Go to the Botanical Gardens and stare at the palm trees. Go to the aquarium and see the fish. Go to work and behold the infinite nature of your tra- vail. Go to a cemetery and behold old tombstones. You can't fool me, you have never lost the spirit of wonder though perhaps I had and have now regained it from you.
