Yes! No!

How necessary it is to have opinions! I think the spotted
trout lilies are satisfied, standing a few inches above the
earth. I think serenity is not something you just find in the
world, like a plum tree, holding up its white petals.

The violets, along the river, are opening their blue faces,
like small dark lanterns.

The green mosses, being so many, are as good as brawny.

How important it is to walk along, not in haste but slowly,
looking at everything and calling out

Yes! No! The

swan, for all his pomp, his robes of glass and petals, wants
only to be allowed to live on the nameless pond. The
catbrier is without fault. The water thrushes, down among
the sloppy rocks, are going crazy with happiness.
Imagination is better than a sharp instrument. To pay
attention, this is our endless and proper work.
