In Defense of Silence and Solitude

Pearls

"After all," Anne had said to Marilla once, 

"I believe the nicest and sweetest days 

are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens 

but just those that bring simple little pleasures, 

following one another softly, 

like pearls slipping off a string."

-L.M. Montgomery
