Book Description
Excerpt from Notes From Nature's Lyre Ankind owes an inestimable debt to God for His terrestrial gifts which sur round us, as well as for His heavenly ones which are to come. In the preparation for the enjoying of the future ones the logical way is to notice and appreciate those which now exist. It is not well for even the most ambitious to overlook in scorn the caterpillar of earthly graces while putting forth his ut most efforts in attempting to grasp the flee ing butterfly Of the future. The one is the gradual development of the other, and that which has grown slowly is generally more perfectly formed than that which has devel oped quickly. But aside from its obligatory character - and man is rarely inclined to meet an obligation - there is a something innate in every one that prompts a study of nature, an irresistible drawing toward the beauty and wonderfulness of creation. And if a man so neglect this incentive as to give the natural beauties of his home but a Cursory glance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Nature's Musings What is nature but the unfolding of God's love? What are flowers but His smiles? What are winds but His whispers? What is the dew but the tears of heaven? She has a thousand ways to charm us, do we but see them and understand; and yet, with all the learning we may in any way possess we are but infants in the cradle of her great heart, be it calm or storm, sunshine or shadow, night or day. Or any one of her many changes; it is but the vibration of a great harp tuned to to the melodies of heaven, and in her mountains, fields and skies a healing balm for the worn and weary. She always has the same sweet smile For those who love her true. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This volume studies some of Edward Burne-Jones’s paintings, focusing specifically on his approach to nature, both through his observations about the real, physical world and through his symbolic interpretations of earthly and celestial realms. Burne-Jones’s appreciation for natural formations grew from his interests in astronomy and geography, and was expanded by his aesthetic sensibility for physical and metaphysical beauty. His drawings and watercolors carefully recorded the physical world he saw around him. These studies provided the background for a collection of paintings about landscapes with flora and fauna, and ignited an artistic furor that inspired the imagery he used in his allegorical, fantasy, and dream cycles about forests, winding paths, and sweet briar roses. This study focuses on two main ideas: Burne-Jones’s concept of ideal and artificial or magical nature expressed and represented in his drawings and paintings, and the way in which he fused his scientific knowledge about nature with some of the symbolism in his paintings.

Excerpt from In Nature's Realm My days - Elysian days to me - afield or afloat, were followed by nights no less delightful, when, at my desk, I again lived my happy hours. My entertainment, therefore, has been two-fold, and so I am moved to hope that the satisfaction of the reader who turns these pages to the light will at least be single-fold. Here, however, a word of caution. No book concerning Nature is in any sense a mirror reflecting every detail. The many subtle charms the rambler recognizes, when under the bright blue sky, are not brought home with him. He cannot pierce with a pencil-point many an impression as you may pin a butterfly. Here, too, let me call attention to the danger of being so far off our guard that confusion arises from a multiplicity of objects; all of commanding interest.

Excerpt from Near Nature's Heart: A Volume of Verse The great artist is one whose whole body be comes a living soul; whose eye gets glimpses into the heart of Nature, with visions of the Super natural; whose ear hears their inner music, and whose hand produces ecstatic expression of their central force in some revelation of Beauty. And to make his art more real, more nearly perfect, Beauty more beautiful, such artist by contrast of ten depicts or suggests the deadly but doomed dis cords of life.

Excerpt from Nature-Notes and Impressions: In Prose and Verse Would I could talk as the flowers talk To my soul! and the stars, in their ceaseless walk Through Heaven! - and tell to the high and low The things that they say, so all might know The dreams they dream, and have told to me! As Nature sees would I could see! Then might I speak with authority! - I stand below and look above, And see her busy with life and love, And can tell the world so little thereof. Oh, for a soul that could feel much less! Or, feeling more, could so express The things it feels and their tenderness: The very essence, the soul of art, And all the heavens and hells of heart! Then might I rise to the very peak, The summit of song, which poets seek, And speak with a voice as the masters speak.

Excerpt from Nature and Life: Sermons by Robert Collyer I let this little book go out into the world, feeling almost as if it were one of my children. I cannot be indifferent to its reception, because I live it. So I trust it will be welcome wherever it goes, - that friends will be glad to see it for my sake, and strangers for its own. If it should be blessed with a long life, I shall rejoice greatly; but, if it die early, fl shall still be glad it was born.
