The Wonders of Fresh Air

“FRESH air, how wonderful it is! It permeates all our body; it bathes the skin in a medium so delicate that we are not conscious of its presence, and yet so strong that it wafts the odors of flowers and fruit into our rooms, carries our ships over the seas, and the purity of sea and mountain into the heart of great cities. It is the vehicle of sound, bringing to us the voices of those we love and the sweet music of nature; it is the great reservoir of the rain, which waters the earth; it softens the heat of day and the cold of night, covers us overhead with a glorious arch of blue, and lights up the morning and evening skies with fire.”
