To sit on a fine day on a park-bench or café-table, watching the late afternoon or early evening sky's light change and the colours of objects darken, provided another setting for this beautiful feeling of inward peace. This has always been the day's finest hour. But it comes to its best with solitude. The company of other people's voices does not help it, only obstructs while their thoughts, vividly felt in that passive mood, may be even worse.
