1st print (left in photo), 'So Soft', quotes from 'Song of Myself' from 'Leaves of Grass' by Walt Whitman: "[And] there is no object so soft but it makes a hub for the [wheel’d] universe"; 2nd print (middle in photo) quotes the poem 'The Lake of Beauty' by Edward Carpenter [early gay rights activist - text below]; the 3rd print (right in photo) quotes Carl Jung: "The serious problems of life are never fully solved. If even they should appear to be so it is a sure sign that something has been lost. The meaning and purpose of a problem seem to lie not in its solution but in our working at it incessantly. This alone preserves us from stultification and petrifaction.

Transcribed text from Corita Archive: "The Lake of Beauty. Let your mind be quiet, realizing the beauty of the world, and the immense the boundless treasures that it holds in store. All that you have within you, all that your heart desires, all that your Nature so specially fits you for---that or the counterpart of it waits embedded in the great Whole, for you. It will surely come to you. Yet equally surely, not one moment before its appointed time will come. All your crying and fever and reaching out of hands will make no difference. Therefore do not begin that game at all. Do not recklessly spill the waters of your mind in this direction and in that, lest you become like a spring lost and dissipated in the desert. But draw them together into a little compass, and hold them still, so still; And let them become clear, so clear--so limpid, so mirror-like; At last the mountains, and the sky shall fan themselves in peaceful beauty, and the antelope shall descend to drink, and to gaze at his reflected image, and the lion to quench his thirst, and love himself shall come, and bend over, and catch his own likeness in you."
