Like a rich fountain it overflows on every side; from within flows unceasingly the noiseless tide.

The many changes and unlooked-for results and circumstances, within and without, of the coming year I would no more venture to anticipate than to count the stars.

It is to me now as if I had just been born, and I live in the Sabbath of creation.

Every thing that I see I feel called on to give a name; it has a new meaning to me.

Should this life grow--what?
It is a singular fact that, although conscious of a more interior and potent force at work within, I am now more quiet and will-less than I was when it at first affected me.
