And the blue eucalypti against the walls will lend their voices, the yellow acacias will add their cadences; while down by the great lagoon, ten thousand periwinkles will dance for joy.
Far out on the waters will be intoned to the rhythm of the waves, a chorus from white robed water-lilies who like a throng of choristers will send their anthems rippling over the sun kissed waves.
The Spirit of the East that has added its domes, its minarets, its soft-glowing colors will remain and join hands with the Spirit of the West, that strong, pulsating, energetic spirit, and the harmony produced will vibrate from the shores of the Occident to the shores of the Orient, and bring about a better understanding; a great world peace.
And the world will come to listen. The great music will sound across the waters, and the world will be the better in its way of thinking, of working, of living—and all because of the great beauty.
Wonderful is it to be living today, to have the opportunity of watching the beginning of this mighty growth; to be present at one of the world's greatest events.
And the pastel city by the sea will not leave us, for as the years go on, whatever be our mission, the vision of this dream-city will float before us, leading us to finer, higher works, strengthening our ideals, and causing us to give only of our finest fibre.
