Samantha at the St. Louis Exposition

CHAPTER IX
13/21

There are three big buildings in front and an annex, the central building built of stone and brick is the only permanent buildin' in this enormous Exposition so naturally they would make it as perfect as possible.
And it is crowded full of beauty.

In fact turn where you would you would see such glowing landscapes, such beautiful faces, such perfect sculpture that you git all mixed up, and when you thought it over you couldn't remember whether some picture or statute that stood out in your memory wuz in the U.S.exhibit or the French, or German, or Italian, or etc., etc.
In lookin' back and thinkin' on't and tryin' to git 'em in the right place in your mind it is as difficult as it would be in walking through a big clover meadow and tryin' to sort out the clover blossoms and describe 'em one by one and tell in jest what corner of the lot you found 'em.

It can't be done; in such an immense field of art your brain sort o' fills up and turns round and round and you git mixed.

But as I say some of the pictures and statutes stayed in my memory so I couldn't dislodge 'em and don't want to, no indeed! Now there are three noble figgers at the entrance that you can't forgit.
Inspiration standin' up above the main entrance is jest where she should be.

Inspiration, breath of the Most High breathed into some of His children below anon or oftener, and then on each side is Truth and Nature.
