Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lighter Studies of a Country Rector
What angels, he asks, invented these splendid ornaments, these rich conveniences, this ocean of air above, this ocean of water beneath, this firmament of earth between? This zodiac of lights, this tent of dropping clouds, this striped coat of climates, this fourfold year? Beasts, fire, water, stones, and corn serve him. The field is at once his ?oor, his work-yard, his play-ground, his garden, and his bed. Give me, he exclaims.
