Book Description

Excerpt from Song of Life They do not think of man as something apart by himself, but rather as a part of the universal life which the plants and birds and all living creatures share with him. Their eyes and hearts are open to the sister life in the world about them, and they look at the flowers, not only with pleasure, but with the love which recognizes in them a sweet though simple existence like our own. Most of us ignore the tie which binds us to the plant as well as to our human brother. In this respect we are like him of whom it was said, - "A primrose by the river brim A yellow primrose was to him, And it was nothing more." And yet the primrose is something more than a bit of yellow on a green background; it has life, and in many important respects life in the plants is the same as life in us.
