Book Description

Excerpt from The Library of American Biography, Vol. 2: Second Series This explains, why men of powerful minds, like Wilson, grow so deeply interested in what are ignorantly regarded as little things how they can watch, with the gaze of a lover, to catch the glancing of the small bird's wing; and how they can listen to its song, with as much interest as if it breathed thoughts and affections; how the world can be so spiritually bright to them, while to others the bird is only a flying animal, and the flower only the covering of a clod. If any man's labors tend to give interest and meaning to the things of the visible world, we consider him as one who has rendered good service to man kind.
