SILVER's SAGESS

What then is Life 
- what is it for
What is its Great End?
Manifestly, in the light of all knowledge, and according to the
testimony of all men who have lived...
Life is the fullest, most
complete enjoyment of the possibilities of human existence
It
is the development and broadening of the feelings and emotions,
through sound and color, line and form.
 ...hence come literature with romance, poetry, and essay;
hence rise Love, Friendship, emulation, and ambition,
and the ever widening realms of thought
in increasing circles of ...  
Truth.

~ It is ... 
free enjoyment ... 
paths and emotions  ...
need for expression ... full meaning ...



~ W.E.B. du Bois, from The Revelation of Saint Orgne the Damned,
The Education of Black People)
