Look around us—how nobly simple is every line and shape! Far below the horizon nature is elaborate, full of fancies,—mazy watercourses, delicate dingles, fantastically gloomy ravines, misshapen woods, gibbering with diablerie; but here how simple, how great, how good she is! LOOK AROUND US HOW NOBLY SIMPLE IS EVERY LINE AND SHAPE FAR BELOW THE HORIZON NATURE IS ELABORATE FULL OF FANCIES MAZIE WATERCOURSES DELICATE DINGLES FANTASTICALLY GLOOMY RAVINES MISSHAPEN WOODS GIBBERING WITH DABBLERY BUT HERE HOW SIMPLE HOW GREAT HOW GOOD SHE IS
 said Beatrice soothingly, "but that is passed now, and you must not dwell too persistently in the sorrow of it, or in your grief for little Wonder. That too is to dwell with shadows, and to dwell with shadows either of grief or joy is dangerous for the soul." "I know. But fear not, Beatrice. Perhaps there was the danger of my passing from one cloudland to another—for I never knew how I loved our Wonder till now, and I longed, if only by imagination, to follow her where she has gone, and share with her the life together we have lost here—" "But that can never be," said Beatrice; "you must accept it, Antony. We shall only meet her again by doing that. The sooner we can say from our hearts 'She is lost here,' the nearer is she to being found in another world. Yes, Antony dear, even Wonder's little shadow must be left behind, if we are to mount together the hills of life." "My wonderful Beatrice! Yes, the hills of life. No more its woods, but its hills, bathed in a vast and open sunshine. R LOVER OF COLORED SHADOWS YES DEAR SAID BEATRICE SOOTHINGLY BUT THAT IS PAST NOW AND YOU MUST NOT DWELL TOO PERSISTENTLY IN THE SORROW OF IT OR IN YOUR GRIEF FOR LITTLE WONDER THAT TOO IS TO DWELL WITH THE SHADOWS AND TO DWELL WITH THE SHADOWS EITHER OF GRIEF OR JOY IS DANGEROUS FOR THE SOUL I KNOW BUT FEAR NOT BEATRICE PERHAPS THERE WAS THE DANGER OF MY PASSING FROM ONE CLOUD LAND TO ANOTHER FOR I NEVER KNEW HOW I LOVED OUR WONDER TILL NOW AND I LONGED IF ONLY BY IMAGINATION TO FOLLOW HER WHERE SHE HAS GONE AND SHARE WITH HER THE LIFE TOGETHER WE HAVE LOST HERE BUT THAT CAN NEVER BE SAID BEATRICE YOU MUST ACCEPT IT ANTONY WE SHALL ONLY MEET HER AGAIN BY DOING THAT THE SOONER WE CAN SAY FROM OUR HEARTS SHE IS LOST HERE THE NEARER SHE IS TO BEING FOUND IN ANOTHER WORLD YES ANTONY DEAR EVEN WONDER'S LITTLE SHADOW MUST BE LEFT BEHIND IF WE ARE TO MOUNT TOGETHER THE HILLS OF LIFE MY WONDERFUL BEATRICE YES THE HILLS OF LIFE NO MORE ITS WOODS BUT ITS HILLS BATHED IN A VAST AND OPEN SUNSHINE
