immortalizing camera,--to pretend that life is easy, if one but knows
how to drop a fly into the right ripple. For life is not easy, after
all is said. It is a long brook to fish, and it needs a stout heart and
a wise patience. All the flies there are in the book, and all the bait
that can be carried in the box, are likely to be needed ere the day is
over. But, like the Psalmist's "river of God," this brook is "full of
water," and there is plenty of good fishing to be had in it if one is
neither afraid nor ashamed of fishing sometimes with a worm.
