[Samantha at the St. Louis Exposition by Marietta Holley]@TWC D-Link bookSamantha at the St. Louis Exposition CHAPTER IX 14/21
Nature, the kind All Mother, Truth, the divine one.
How sweet to find 'em all there together guardin' and consecratin' these walls.
You went in feelin' safer with such gardeens at the portal. I must say though that Truth didn't have any clothes on, she wuz jest settin' there on top of the world jest as naked as she could be, she could have wore one of my bib aprons as well as not, durin' the Fair anyway, whilst there wuz so many folks round and she would have looked enough sight better to me and been jest as truthful.
But howsumever I knew she wuz likely, her face wuz innocent and beautiful. As I said it is some of the pictures and statutes that stand out clearest in my memory, but there wuz everything else there admirable and choice in art, paintings in oil, wax; on canvas, wood, enamel, metal, fresco paintings on walls and ceilings.
Water colors, chalk, pastel, ivory, pyrography.
