chords of harmony, or, in an
allegro movement, causing you almost to trip with delight in the joy of
it all.
Your eye is enthralled with the beauty of the coloring. One sees

turquoise green domes floating in a silver-moated ether, long
colonnades of glacial ice columns leading to regions beyond, where
quiet silver pools throw back the mirrored glories.
Battalions of daffodils holding their long sabers stand in the South
Garden, making ready for the great festival. Soon those daffodils will
raise their golden trumpets and will sound the fanfare at the opening of
the Great Jubilee, and up will spring two hundred thousand wide-eyed
yellow pansies to look and wonder at the marvelous beauty and help in
the hallelujah chorus that will be one great poeon of joy - one splendid
hymn of praise.
And the blue eucalypti against the walls will lend their voices, the
yellow acacias will add their cadences; while down by the great lagoon,
ten thousand periwinkles will dance for joy.
Far out on the waters will be intoned to the rhythm of the waves a
chorus from white-robed water-lilies, who, like a throng of choristers,
will send their anthems rippling over the sun-kissed waves.
The Spirit of the East that has added its domes, its minarets, its
soft-glowing colors, will remain and join hands with the Spirit of the
West, that strong, pulsating energetic spirit, and the harmony produced
will vibrate from the shores of the Occident to the shores of the Orient
and bring about a better understanding, a great world peace.
And the world will come to listen. The great music will sound across
the waters, and the world will be the better in its way of thinking, of
working, of living - and all because of the great beauty. Wonderful is it
to be living today, to have the opportunity of watching the beginning of
this mighty growth; to be present at one of the world's greatest events.
And the pastel city by the sea will not leave us, for, as the years go on,
whatever be our mission, the vision of this dream-city will float before
us, leading us to finer, higher works, strengthening our ideals, and
causing us to give only of our finest fiber.
