It may not Offer the most direct route between two given points but as, avoiding the dusty high road, it leads the wanderer over verdant meadows, through fields of golden grain, or amid the still recesses of sheltering woodlands, he will not grudge the lengthening Of his journey. Along such path ways, which best afford opportunities for quiet meditation, eye and car are Often greeted by sights and sounds not seen or heard on the more frequented highway.
