English: "The Yachting Trip"
The nearest that this little boy ever came to a yachting trip was sitting dangling his legs over a river pier one hot day and watching a whlte-winged craft come to anchor In midstream. The boat seemed to him like a great enchanted swallow that carried only fairy personages between its outspread wings. He never thought of envying the fairles--he Just dreamed dreams about them. This boy was happy because he possessed an imagination. Imagination Is something even more, however, than a source of happiness. It has scaled every height that man has climbed--before the man himself. It comes nearer to having the power of a god than any gift that man is heir to. Imagination must precede even the most trivial undertaking upon which we embark--the merchant's new Invoice, yes--even the housewife's Spring cleaning. Nothing that we do with set purpose but that Imagination alone enables us to frame that purpose. Would we bo something very different from what we are? We have first had to use our Imagination to picture to ourselves that thing ws would be. Perhaps we will wake up some day and find out that it was only steadiness of purpose we needed to cultivate, after alL Perhaps the fact that we are able to imagine such wonderful things is only the prophetic glimpse of hat we each can do when we will to do It |
