Book Description
Excerpt from In Garden Orchard and Spinney A billow of ivy overhangs part of my garden-wall, making a rare shelter against inclement skies for such of the winged insect folk as have overlived the year - a large eyed, melancholy fly, its body ringed with yellow and brown, transparent with empti ness, a thing of sad lemurine demeanour and dreamily torpid; a tortoise-shell butterfly, with wings as tattered as any Crimean colours, but holding here and there traces of its autumnal glories a blue-bottle infirm and old, hoary with anxieties, that moves wearily under the burden of its days.
