A Bunch of Pansies (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from A Bunch of Pansies WE should constantly remember, in perusing the following simple poems, that their authoress is blind. Not one who has once seen, and in her childish years looked on the forms of nature, which she loves, kindled to brightness, and outlined by living light and bathed in beauteous colors, and so enriched her fancy by the images of vision. She has never seen. To one born blind, the ear and fingers perform the office of the eye. Of a world of ideas, another's narra tive, another's description, is the sole substitute for her own obser vation and experience. Judge what conception can be formed of colors by one who lacks the sense to which alone color is addressed.

Book Description
Excerpt from Pansies: Poems of Thought and Feeling Invocation. Oh, mighty heart of Nature! Thou all creative force, That pulsates through our being, Of every life, the source, We feel thee all around us, In earth and sea and air, Each bird and flower and leaflet, Are in thy tender care. Through white cups of the lily, The pink cheek of the rose, Through green of waving grasses, Thy quickening essence flows. The blue sky bending o'er us, The stars that 'bove us shine, The sun - the moon - the planets Move by thy power divine. In the flow of rippling water, The ocean's mighty swell, The brooklet's gentle murmur, Or music of sea-shell; In the thunder and the tempest, The fierce winds rushing by, The softly swelling breezes, Or sad heart's faintest sigh We hear and feel thy presence; In our joy or in our pain; Thy life force throbs and pulses Through Nature's endless chain About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Down the Garden Path
Author: Beverley NicholsPublisher: Timber Press (OR)
ISBN: 9780881927108
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
"Down the Garden Path has stood the test of time as one of the world's best-loved and most quoted gardening books. Ostensibly an account of the creation of a garden in Huntingdonshire in the 1930s, it is really about the underlying emotions and obsessions for which gardening is just a cover story. The secret of this book's success---and its timelessness---is that it does not seek to impress the reader with a wealth of expert knowledge or advice. Beverley Nichols proudly declares his status as a newcomer to gardening: "The best gardening books should be written by those who still have to search their brains for the honeysuckle's languid Latin name."As unforgettable as the plants in the garden are, the cast of visitors and neighbours who invariably turn up at inopportune moments are truly memorable. For every angelic Miss Hazlitt there is an insufferable Miss Wilkins waiting in the wings. For every thought-provoking Professor, there is an intrusive Mrs. M., whose chief offense may be that she is a "damnably efficient" gardener. From a disaster in building a rock garden---"It reminded me of those puddings made of spongecake and custard which are studded with almonds"---to a triumph in building an "avalanche" of chionodoxas---"Ah, but it was worth waiting for"---to further adventures with greenhouses, woodland gardens, not to mention cats and treacle, Nichols has left us a true gardening classic.
