About this book
A weary writer opens his study windows, leaves his growing pile of manuscripts behind, and seeks company outdoors. Hamilton Wright Mabie's essays begin with an April day, finding beauty in bare branches, brown hills, and the muted colors that precede summer. Nature becomes a speaking companion, and changing weather gives the observer occasions to consider friendship, attention, and the difference between passing admiration and lasting affection.
Apple boughs, open fields, woodland paths, rivers, and summer hours give the collection its range of outdoor settings. The pause before autumn prompts reflections on finished work, the smallest leaf, and the relationship between physical life and spiritual thought. These essays suit readers interested in how close observation of a landscape can grow into personal reflection, with the turning seasons providing both their imagery and their questions.
