Men dive for pearls-they are not found on shore,
The hillsides most unpromising and bleak
Do sometimes hide the ore.
Go, dive in the vast ocean of thy mind, O man! far down below the noisy waves,
Down in the depths and silence thou mayst find Rare pearls and coral caves.
(from "Hidden Gems" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox)
