There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords.
I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.
God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
