    Of what use to the flowers are their sweet odors? Do they themselves enjoy them? No.Are they meant for the pleasure of animals?Did you ever see a sheep or a dog pause before a rose to inhale its perfume?Then it was for man alone that the rich treasures are meant. Wherefore?That they may be loved, perhaps.
