I greatly enjoyed the Hawaiian Islands.

For the flowers are great blessings. For the Lord made a Nosegay in the meadow with his disciples and preached upon the lily. For the flowers have great virtues for all senses.

For there is a sound reasoning upon all flowers. For flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ.
