ioo FROM A MIDDLESEX GARDEN 



These instances are but a few of the many varying ex- 

 pressions given to the leaves, ranging from the simple " gay 

 green" of Thomson, to Swinburne's marvellous vision of 

 green, " the colour of the glad grass " seen 



" When April's kissing May, 

 O fervent eyelids, letting through 

 Those eyes the greenest of things blue, 

 The bluest of things grey."
