DEPTH OF QUIET PEOPLE.

Some men dawn upon you like the
Alps. They impress you vaguely at
first, just as do the hundred faces
you meet in your daily walks. They
come across your horizon like clouds,
and you have to watch a while be-
fore you see that they are mountains
Some men remind you of quiet lakes,
places such as you often happened
upon, where the green turf and field
flower hang over and reflect out
ofthe water all day long. There is
nothing remarkable about the flowers,
only that they seem so much like love
and kindness, gentleness, and those
other every day ordinary little vir-
tues. Perhaps you become attached
to the lake because it is a genial spot,
and whether you lived near lake or
not, it seems to remind you of home.
But you never dream of its being in
any way wonderful. Some day OF
other you carelessly drop line into
the clear depths, close by the daisies
and daffodills, and it goes down, down
down. You lean over and sound deep
err but your line doesn't bring up.
What deep spot that is you think;
and you try another. The reflected
daisies seem to smile at you out OF
the water, the turf looks as green as
ever, but there is no shallow spo,
beneath. You never thought it, but
your quiet lake is all around unfath
ENABLE. You are none the less i'm
pressed from the fact that it is quie
