From the Boulevard du Palais on the east it is separated by a magnificent eighteenth-century railing in wrought iron and gilt. On this side lie the Salle des Pas Perdus and the Sainte-Chapelle. The fine square tower known as the Clock Tower stands at the corner formed by the Quai du Mord and the Boulevard du Palais; and on the north side lies the Conciergerie prison with the dungeon once occupied by Marie Antoinette.--_Gaston Meissas_ OLD BRYNHYFRYD GARDEN by Kenneth Morris There's a quiet old enchantment of the heart that's calling, calling From when Myrddin wielded magic powers, and Gwydion wove his tales; And you'll hear it any April morn, when the apple-bloom is falling In old Brynhyfryd Garden, in White, Wild Wales. There's an Ousel in the Orchard there, and dear knows what he's telling; But I think there's Welsh comes welling from his throat when no one's nigh, And it's he that in Cilgwri in the olden days was dwelling, And he saw the Quest of Cilhwch, and the old worlds die. There's a lonely, lofty spirit that will fire your soul with craving For the kind and haughty glory of the old, Heroic Kings, Where the foxglove and sweet-william on the turf-topped walls are waving In old Brynhyfryd Garden, when the West Wind sings. There's a ruin filled with nettles, where I think Ceridwen lingers When she's out to gather herbage for the Wisdom Broth she brews: And maybe you'll close your eyes there, and you'll feel the touch of fingers, Or the dropping down of healing with the cool June dews. Ancient Magic of the World, it's the fires of you are burning When the Wind is in the pine tops, and the moon is o'er the vales; It's a rumor of immortal hopes, Immortal Hearts returning That's in old Brynhyfryd Garden in the white West of Wales.

The misuse of words seems a trifling matter to those who habitually misuse every function of mind and body; but the results of perversion are disastrous to body, mind, and soul. The misuse of terms, when not due to ignorance of their legitimate meaning, is in itself an indication of a perverted mind diseased by habitual misuse of the functions of both body and mind, which two are so intimately related as to share inevitably the consequences of right or wrong living.
