Description
Excerpt from The Life of Alexander Duff
The childhood of Alexander Duff was spent among grand and inspiring Objects. Nature herself, in her purest moods, was his earliest teacher. The lofty, rugged peaks, and gen tle, undulating glades Of his first home formed a back ground to his memory-pictures throughout life. The prat tling stream which ran past his father''s door, whispering its happy secrets to the birch, ash, and larch trees which bent low at its side to catch the soft murmurs, was his first playmate, and the fresh breezes from the Grampians gave force to his limbs and color to his cheek.
