Rarest of Gifts

John Burroughs, Ways of Nature (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1905), p. 238:
The power to see straight is the rarest of gifts; to see no more and no less than is actually before you; to be able to detach yourself and see the thing as it actually is, uncolored or unmodified by your own sentiments or prepossessions.
