Without Apology or Explanation

In his garden every man may be his own artist
without apology or explanation.

Each within his green enclosure is a creator,
and no two shall reach the same conclusion;
nor shall we, any more than other creative workers,
be ever wholly satisfied with our accomplishment.

Ever a season ahead of us floats the vision
of perfection and herein lies its perennial charm.

Louise Beebe Wilder
