In the afternoon of that first "seeing" day,I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate my eye on the beauties of the world of Nature.Om the way home from my woodland walk my path would lie near a farm so that I might see the patient horses ploughing in the field (perhaps I should see only a tractor!) and the content of men living close to the soil. And I should pray for the glory of a colorful sunset.
When dusk had fallen, I should experience the double delight of being able to see by artificial light which man has created to extend the power his sight when Nature grants darkness.
In the night of that first day of sight, I should not be able to sleep, so full would be my mind of the memories of the day.
The Second Day
The next day-the second day of sight-I should arise with the dawn and see the thrilling miracle by which night is transformed into day.I should behold the magnificent light wiht which the sun awakens the slooping earth.
This day I should devote to a hasty glimpse of the world,past and present.I should want to see man`s progress.How can so much be compressed into one day? Through the museums,of course.Often I have visited the New York Museum of Matural History to touch with my hands many of the objects there exhibited,but I have longed to see with my eyes the condensed history of the earth and its inhabitants displayed there.
My next stop would be the Metropolitan Museum of Art, for just as the museum of Natural History reveals the material aspects of world,so does the Metropolitan show the diamend of the human spitit.Here is unfolded before me the spirit of Egypt,Greece and Rome,as expressed in their art.
The Thrid day
