The feet, the feet were beautiful on
the mountain; their toll was the price
of all communication, and their reward
the first service and refreshment. They
adored poetry with the primitive word,
and the civilization that was single,
simple and humane sang them. They
were blessed and bathed; they suf-

low rivers at noon, gave them GOODNESS.
They must have grown hard upon their
mountain paths, but never so hard but
