Every smallest branch of the human family at one time or another has carved out its dreams out of the rock on which it has lived—true, and sometimes pain-filled dreams, but still wholly appropriate to their particular bit of earth. Each of these ways of expressing emotion has been the handiwork of generations of unknown poets, musicians, and human hearts.
