"The Tell" by William Bronk

I want to tell my friends how beautiful the world is. Not but what they know it is terrible too-they know as well as I; but nevertheless, I want to tell my friends.

Because they are. And this is what they are; and because it is and this is what it is. You are my friend. The world is beautiful. Dear friend, you are. I want to tell you so.

—William Bronk
