Juliet Helena Lumbard James A Foreword to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition

At a signal from Enterprise the Fairy turned her wheel, Venus threw her golden ball of opportunity, and lo! out of the foam of the sea rose a Venus city with the round sea-bubbles resting on the roofs.
One day a man appeared on the hill-top o'er-looking this wondrous city, and by his magic power, being filled with music, with color-music, he cast a spell, [6] and behold a pastel city by the sea—such an one as only those who dream could think of; a city glowing with warmth of color, with a softness and mystical charm such as only the brain of Jules Guerin could produce.

Juliet Helena Lumbard James A Foreword to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition

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.
