Download or read book Leaf and Tendril Classic Reprint written by John Burroughs and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leaf and Tendril As most of the essays in this volume were written in a little bark-covered study that is surrounded on all sides by vineyards, I have thought it not inap propriate for me to go to the vine for a title for the collection. The leaf may stand very well for the nature sketches, and the tendril may symbolize those other papers in which I have groped my way in some of the great problems, seeking some law or truth to cling to. The tendril is blind, but it is sensitive and outreaching, and aided by the wind, never ceases to feel this way and that for support. Whatever it touches it clings to. One vine will cling to another, or one arm cling to another arm of the same vine. It has no power to select or discriminate - its one overmastering impulse is to cling, no mat ter to what. Where the tendril strikes the wire, or hooks that sensitive finger around it, how quickly it tightens its hold and winds itself round and round! In time it becomes almost as hard as the wire itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land of the Scarlet Leaf Strangers to the New World leant on the ship's rail and gazed eagerly at the beautiful prospect, while returning Canadians pointed out places of interest, with an air of friendly superiority. It was nearing sunset as the boat approached Quebec and the full splendour of that city, in its great natural beauty, came slowly into view. Two ladies stood on the bridge deck of the boat, the younger exclaiming with delight at the fine scene before them, while the elder watched her with an indulgent smile. It's perfectly glorious l cried the girl. Imagine the crowds of people in England who only think of such a place as this dimly as some savage heights where Wolfe fought and died.

Even the mother, who dotes on dumb things, and deifies Mr. Bergh, was Often heard to say, after some season Of unusual trial, I declare, I wish there were some instantaneous and merciful way of killing a cat. If I hire a boy to kill her, he will torture her; if I turn her away, she will be abused and starved; if I keep her, she will wear the life out Of me. She is a perfect elephant! This last position was strenuously combated by Bobby, who intimated that she had no trunk but he was promptly snubbed by Brunette, who remarked, I Wish she had a trunk, I 'd put her into it and send her Off by express this afternoon, with C.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trevor Lordship It was a beautiful night in midsummer. The scent of the night-stock stole in through the open window, an incense to the worship of Nature in her most soothing mood. Now and again, some slight sound arose which seemed to emphasize rather than disturb the silence, or a faint breath, too slight to be termed a breeze, would shake the leaves in a dim arpeggio of sound, like low music in the distance. It seemed as if the stillness itself was audible, as if, under the mantle of quiet and peace, there was a faint murmur, more a sense than an actuality, as of the forces of Nature at work, rearranging, reproducing, marshalling her forces to meet the morning; a sense of that never ending re-creation, of which we are ever sensible at the dawn of a new day.
