Imperial German Ambassador was handing to the Russian Minister of Foreign affairs in St. Petersburg a declaration of war, I was standing on the rocky coast of Maine, looking out over the shimmering waters of Linekin Bay. The month of July had been affording nights and days of extravagant and ravishing beauty. The colorings of sky and ocean and wooded points had made the eye drunken with their loveliness. On this Sunday evening I again felt that unspeakable thrill of inspiration which visits the soul in its hours of perfect conversation with Nature. God sin his heaven, All sright with the world,9 seemed the clear-sung anthem of all the world, visible and invisible. The next day I learned that Europe was in the seething caldron of war.
