How sweet the morning air is! See how that one little cloud floats like a pink feather from some gigantic flamingo. Now the red rim of the sun pushes itself over the London cloud-bank.

How small we feel with our petty ambitions and strivings in the presence of the great elemental forces of Nature! ↗
