FROM A NEW ENGLAND HILLSIDE. 37 



&quot;trailing clouds of glory &quot; that, lighted by 

 the sinking sun, it lifts itself into the air 

 above the tree-tops. 



And the tree-tops themselves, those deli 

 cate sprays which now we see prodigally 

 scattered around us, as if they were not 

 of beauty all compact, partake of the 

 illumination, and to the very tips of their 

 bud-crowned twigs thrill with the flooding 

 light of the parting day. 



DECEMBER 6, 1893.
