NATURE AND CHARACTER
" THERE is nothing wrong with your nature' —
a man once said to me- " but your character!
Well that is another matter."
Gaily I went my way.
Of myself did I know every feature?
Then how should I prefer, form character, give myself conscious direction Who had turned on my pole like a flower which says " Look at me, Eye of the Day! "
What more can any man say?
" Look at me, Eye of the Day! "
Strong-willed men choose their direction—
their longing for what they are not, they are ambitious, incomplete, imperfect ; grimly they seek what is right, determined, set course for perfection (known orbits give most satisfaction) will have virtue, that definite character, blind with a bias seeking sight. Can they be wiser or cleverer Who say," Look at me following the Light ;
Look at the Eye of the Night"? W. J. TURNER
