"There's gold and it's haunting and haunting. It's luring me on as of old yet it isn't gold that I'm wanting so much as just finding the gold. It's the great big-broad land way up yonder it's the forest where silence has lease, it's the beauty that fills me with wonder. It's the stillness that fills me with peace."
