Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Book of Joys: The Story of a New England Summer And to begin, such a morning as it is! As if it were the first that dawned - I had almost said bloomed - in Paradise! And I, looking out upon it, feel like Eve returned to Eden, only with Adam left still without the gate to earn his bread - and mine - "by the sweat of his face." Could any one, I wonder, sit by this window, on this day of the world, and look out upon a New England orchard in bloom, with birds nesting and singing among the fragrant boughs, and not brim over with the joy of it? I am not the first to observe that Nature is a delight at all seasons of the year; but just now and here she is a delirium, and I marvel that I do not spontaneously gush poetry from the wells of feeling within me! If it is true, as the philosopher asserts, that speech is silver and silence golden, then I am sure of my verbal policy.
