Some flowers prefer shadow to sunshine.
Many of the most beautiful mosses and wild flowers are to be found in places where no sunshine can reach them. Violets and primroses seem to revel in shady thickets hidden from the brightness of the day. The aconite and the snowdrop need no sun to tempt them into bloom. Bluebells look their loveliest in the twilight of deep woods where the crowding trees blot out the sky. The same is true of human nature.
