SUMMER 



The guide may not be right about the strength to 

 be had from tasting the roots and barks and buds of 

 things, but I know that I am right when I tell you 

 that the very sap of the summer woods will seem to 

 mingle with your blood at the taste of the aromatic 

 sassafras root, the spicy bark of the sweet birch and

the biting bulb of the Indian turnip. Many of the per- 

 fumes, odors, resins, gums, saps, and nectars of the 

 woods can be known to you only by sense of taste.
