Wikiquote quote of the day:
Leaves glowing in the sun, zealous hum of bumblebees, From afar,
from somewhere beyond the river, echoes of lingering voices And the
unhurried sounds of a hammer gave joy not only to me. Before the five
senses were opened, and earlier than any beginning They waited, ready,
for all those who would call themselves mortals, So that they might
praise, as I do, life, that is, happiness.
