Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Measure of the Hours When, among the trees, in the moun tains or by the sea, the fair hours of the year, the hours for which we have waited and hoped since the depths of winter, the hours which at last open to us the golden gates of leisure, return for our delight, let us learn to enjoy them fully, continuously, voluptuously. Let us have for these privi leged hours a nobler measure than that into which we pour the ordinary hours. Let us gather their dazzling minutes in unaccus tomed urns, glorious, transparent and made of the very light which they are to contain.
