       # 2023-10-29 - The Taste of Honey by Edna Worthley Underwood
       
       Redon lived the life worth while. What a vulgar stupidity is money
       beside it! It can give neither ideas, emotions, nor even
       comprehension or appreciation of what money can buy. The pure joy of
       the heart is honey. It dwells hidden in deep centers of flower-gold.
       It is not easy to find nor procure. God has to send his winged
       messengers to collect the honey of the heart.

       Our land is too new, young, too devoted to the fleeting thing self,
       which has progressed no further than today, than that reasoning mind
       with which as children we used to learn the multiplication table. The
       creating of art has no little in common with teaching of Eastern
       philosophies, the death of self. It, too, is an effect of time. It is
       proof of rich ripening, under multiple suns. Old World nations
       possess this in some degree. The sorrows of much living and
       contending faiths have taught them. In addition, Good wears many
       faces. Deeper spiritual revelation is theirs, enveloping, then
       penetrating the subject under discussion, with something sweeter,
       more eloquent, than the sumptuous sunsets of Lorraine, something to
       be sought among masters, as wild honey is sought in the forest. To
       the mind, indeed, that is what it resembles, The Taste of Honey. It
       is something that all but shatters with delight, blinds with
       unshakable truth.
