The Zoologist, 1876, Vol. 10

Excerpt from The Zoologist, 1876, Vol. 10: Popular Miscellany of Natural History Art sick? Art sad art angry with the world Do all friends fail thee Why, then, give thyself Unto the forest and the ambrosial fields: Commerce with them and the eternal sky. Despair not, fellow! He who casts himself On Nature's fair full bosom, and draws food, 'drinks from a fountain that is never dry. 1'i'i'1e Poet haunts there; Youth that ne'er grows old Dwells with her and her żowers; and Beauty sleeps In her most green recesses, to be found By all who seek her truly. Barry cornwall. There is a gentler element, and man Ma breathe it with a calm unrużied soul, An drink its living waters till the heart Is pure. And this is human happiness! Its secret and its evidence are writ In the broad book of Nature. 'tis to have Attentive and believing faculties; To go abroad rejoicing in the joy Of beautiful and well-created things; 'to love the voice of waters and the sheen Of silver fountains leaping to the sea; To thrill with the rich melody of birds Living their life of music; to be glad In the ga sunshine, reverent in the storm; To see a eauty in the stirring leaf And find calm thoughts beneath the whispering trees, To see, and hear, and breathe the evidence Of God's deep wisdom in the Natural world.
