PICKED WITS
Father's pipe is nice and smooth on the outside, but, oh, so
smelly and strong____ ........ almost as strong as his language.-
Eleanor Gresser
For all poetry would be in vain, and all of our great poets
would have lived for naught if there had not been an eager and
hungry world ready to receive, interpret and appreciate the
esthetic beauty the poet has captured for us.
-Cora Fay Yater
Sifting through a silver sunset, grains of sand swiftly descend.
Torrents of wind bring birds from their flight, while trembling
spring plants bow to the earth. Distance - distance - where
has it vanished? All vision is limited to a three foot square;
beauty of light has been replaced by cloudy billows of dust. The
moon can not shine from its summit to give light to the darkened
pathway of man. Perhaps tomorrow the way may be clearer, but
tonight, solitude lulls the soul to sleep.
Lula Mae Starnes
But a soul is a mountain. The lillies grow along its slopes; the
steel is deep within, but it towers above its petty parts into the
clouds. It drapes its shoulders with the mist, but turns its face
to God.
Margaret Cheatham
What beauties, then must await us in those last of life's hours!
Thoughful meditation, vanquished anxieties, and pleasant mem-
ories shall fill our hearts, as the gentle twilight of death creeps
o'er our earth life. Harry Cotham
It is so much easier to see than to perceive; to hear than to
reflect; to sense things than to spiritually discern them, that 'he
former often shoulders aside the. vital.
Clifton Rogers
Three things there are
Worth living for;
God, love, and beauty.
