there be few moments left, they in

Truly they have no time.
But there is another point from
which to look at this question. Take
your work with you. Let the idea
once thoroughly possess your souls
that to spend more time indoors than
is absolutely necessary is to waate it

take your cradle and nurse your babies
there; let them roll on the grass anc
play in the sand, let the sun kiss then
and place his mark upon them; let the
rains wash them and the winds daily
among their curls; keep them close t.
