“Do you know the kind of still, warm, comfort-giving day that comes in autumn, when, if you are silent, and will listen, you can hear a solitary beech leaf flutter slowly down from branch to branch, till it reaches Mother Earth and rests there? … Knowledge of such things comes by the listening ear. If we would have the joy that comes with such knowledge, we must cultivate the habit of listening, and if we would give children this joy, we must help them to form the habit early.” (The Parents’ Review, Vol. 57, p. 65, Gladding, “The Listening and The Hearing Ear”)
