Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Popular History of British Sea-Weeds: Comprising Their Structure, Fructification, Specific Characters, Arrangement, and General Distribution, With Notices of Some of the Fresh-Water Algæ Not lost the time in sea-side ramble spent. Braced is the frame; and mental health is gained; Knowledge is gained of Him who made the deep, And blissful love acquired of nature´s works, Of which each questioned "minim" soothly says: "The plastic power that formed us is divine!" Launch then the skiff; ply well the scraping dredge! Or, if it like thee better, search the shore: Each rock-pool has its treasure, every tide Strews on the yellow sand, from Ocean´s lap, Weeds, than our flowers more fair, and fitted more, By Lady´s gentle fingering displayed, To beautify the album´s tasteful page, Than aught that deftest pencil e´er devised Of graceful symmetry, or lovely hue: For "who can paint like Nature?" quoth the Bard.
