The waters of the stream played the part of the orchestra, and the sunlight provided the dancers. Every now and then a crescendo of wind highlighted the symphony in the clearing by the creek.

About This Quote

This quote is one of my favorites because of its use of imagery. The author makes it clear that the music and dance at the wedding were nothing more than the natural scenery around them. The flowers and trees in the woods, the stream running past their feet, and even the birds flying overhead were all part of a performance. It was a show put on for the guests at their wedding, and it was a perfect setting for a great party.
