IparaMse Circle 



Homer's ear and stirred even the realistic 

 heart of Aristotle to keeping time with 

 romance. Chaucer serves me well ; like- 

 wise old Izaak of the rod and fly ; yea, 

 any man's book written under the influ- 

 ence of nature is good to read with soli- 

 tude and a bow for company, while into 

 my blood steals that subtle sense of free- 

 dom, nameless, vague, restful, satisfying, 

 which somehow relates back through gen- 

 erations and civilizations to the remotest, 

 the most primitive Paradise Circle.
