Excerpt from Old Fashioned Flowers: And Other Out-of-Door StudiesCan we conceive what humanity would be if it did not know the flowers? If these did not exist, if they had all been hidden from our gaze, as are probably a thousand no less fairy sights that are all around us, but invisible to our eyes, would our character, our moral system, our sense of the beautiful, our aptitude for happiness be quite the same? We should, it is true, in nature have other Splendid manifestations of luxury, exuberance and grace; other dazzling efforts of the infinite forces.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
