The morning and spring of the soul and a physical body / Prophylactic self-isolation series. Day 365th.

Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and Spring. If there is no response in you to the awakening of nature, if the prospect of an early morning walk does not banish sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill you, know that the morning and spring of your life are past. Thus you may feel your pulse.

The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer
