Amusement parks Quote by Alden Bell
““He was here once before but that was in a different lifetime, when wonders were rare and announced—like amusement parks or school trips. Now they are everywhere, for the delectation of those among the survivors who might be hunters of miracles. And the beauty he looks over is fathomable only by a girl who would have felt the measure of it as deep as to her dazzled soul.””
