The
Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea are made of the same
water. It flows down, clean and cool, from the
heights of Herman and the roots of the cedars of
Lebanon. the Sea of Galilee makes beauty of it, the
Sea of Galilee has an outlet. It gets to give. It
gathers in its riches that it may pour them out
again to fertilize the Jordan plain. But the Dead
Sea with the same water makes horror. For the Dead
Sea has no outlet. It gets to keep.
