Notes
Photographer's manuscript note on verso: The wee tributary seem [sic] to spring from nowhere and plung [sic] into the main stream without fuss or confusion. O, that we could enter and flow along with the stream of life with the quietude and complacency of this wee brook. Why the battle? Why the strife? Why the doubt? Why the fear? Irving wrote (in his "The Brook") "while I go on forever" so it is with life, not what we matearialistic [sic] call life. Ah! No. The spirit, that inner life. The infinite, that all enveloping [sic] life - forever, onward, into the glow of understanding, achieving, persuing [sic], enjoying, loving. In a word forever. A soul comes into being, a soul will forever be.
Gift of Margaret Odewalt Sweeney.
