A Real Photo Postcard featuring the Sentinel Pine on Flume-Pool Path. The front includes a poem titled "TO THE WAYFARER A Friend of Man the Tree Speaks": "Ye who pass by and would raise your hand against me, harken ere you harm me. I am the heat of your hearth on cold winter nights; the friendly shade screening you from the summer sun; my fruits are refreshing draughts quenching your thirst as you journey on. I am the beam that holds your house, the board of your table, the bed on which you lie, and the timber that builds your boat. I am the handle of your hoe, the door of your homestead, the wood of your cradle, and the shell of your coffin. I am the bread of kindness and the flower of beauty. Ye who pass by, listen to my prayer. HARM ME NOT! (Poster found in the Public Parks of Spain)" |
