IN THE LEAFY MONTHS 



" As the wind) wander mg over the sea, lakes from 

 each e wave an invisible portion, and brings to those 

 on shore the ethereal essence of ocean, so the air linger- 

 ing among the woods and hedges green waves and 

 billows becomes full of the jine atoms of Summer " 



RICHARD JEFFERIES, The Pageant of Summer.
