"What a lovely thing a rose is! ... Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers.

Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers."
