Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bishop of Cottontown a Story of the Southern Cotton Mills The cotton blossom is the only flower that is born in the shuttle of a sunbeam and dies in a loom. It is the most beautiful flower that grows, and needs only to become rare to be priceless - only to die to be idealized. For the world worships that which it hopes to attain, and our ideals are those things just out of our reach. Satiety has ten points and possession is nine of them. If, in early August, the delicately green leaves of this most aristocratic of all plants, instead of covering acres of Southland shimmering under a throbbing sun, peeped daintily out, from among the well-kept beds of some noble garden, men would flock to see that plant, which, of all plants, looks most like a miniature tree. A stout-hearted plant, - a tree, dwarfed, but losing not its dignity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
