Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Under the Trees It is said that fools build houses and wise men live in them. This is not true of the place where we have now set up our household gods, and in the midst of confusion yet feel already a sense of at-home-ativeness, never enjoyed more completely since the sunny days of childhood. For it was a wise man who chose this spot for his house, and here made for himself a home. His judgment, taste, and skill are seen all over it, and if in this changing world it has finally fallen into our hands, we will not call him unwise, but rather be glad that he was led to make it what it is, that it might be all the more enjoyable for us. It is on the banks of the Hudson. From this rustic seat where I am writing you might throw a stone far into the river. Twenty miles or more of this glorious stream, embracing the whole of Tappan Zee, lie in full view, and from the house some forty or fifty miles of river, forest, and mountains spread themselves continuously at our feet.
