Quotes A flower unblown; a book unread;A tree with fruit unharvested;A path untrod; a house whose roomsLack yet the heart’s divine perfumes;A landscape whose wide border liesIn silent shade ’neath silent skies;A wondrous fountain yet unsealed;A casket with its gifts concealed —This is the Year that for you waitsBeyond To-morrow’s mystic gates.
