...a struggle to render those truths in Nature which for her are eternal,

but which are as yet for the multitude but new

today I was swinging my umbrella as I walked,

and I was amused by it.

I turned the corner and saw this

short fat man

with silver hair

and he was swinging his umbrella, too.

we looked each other in the eye,

and back at our umbrellas,

and smiles grew across our faces.
