Not until you have gone through the rock gorges, and not lost the stream; not until you have gone through the meadow, and the stream has widened and deepened until fleets could ride on its bos om; not until beyond the meadow you have come to the unfathom able ocean, and poured your treas ures into its depths—not until then can you know what love is.— Henry Ward Beecher.
