Watching the swelling buds one April day, Luther exclaimed : " Praise be to God the Creator, who out of a dead world makes all alive again. See those shoots* how they bourgeon and swell! Image of the resurrection of the dead! Winter is death — summer is the resurrection. Between them lie spring and au- tumn as the period of uncertainty and change." In the following passage, what a fine apprecia...tion of beauty! "If a man could make a single rose, we I04 LUTHER ON EDUCATION. should give him an empire; yet roses, and other 'flowers no less beautiful, are scattered in profusion over the world, and no one regards them!" Luther was fond of music; he was a good singer and skillful player on th§ flute. Alone or in the company of friends he often sought recreation from his severe labors in the pleasures of vocal and instrumental music. He set a high value on its elevating influence. " Music," he said, "is one of the noblest and most de- lightful gifts of God; Satan is a great enemy to it; it is a good antidote against temptation and evil thoughts ; the devil does not stay where it is practiced." It is a question whether or not Luther was a poet A recent writer has said that the Reformer "was neither a philosopher nor poet" * The truth of this statement depends upon ,our conception of the poetic gift.
