Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Of the Tree: A Popular Illustrated Report of the British and Foreign Bible Society 1906-1907 "The green book of the earth is open, and the four winds are turning the leaves." - E. B. Browning. In one of his characteristic moods the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table confessed to his friends that he had a most intense and passionate fondness for noble trees, and went on to relate how he had pilgrimaged to visit a certain giant elm in New England: "All at once I saw a great green cloud swelling on the horizon, so vast, so symmetrical, of such Olympian majesty and imperial supremacy among the lesser forest-growths, that my heart stopped short." Many of us can sympathise with Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes in his emotion. There is something awe-inspiring about such a tree.
