Description
Excerpt from Outings at Odd Times
Having an outdoor book in hand, when and how should it be read? It is no doubt very tempting to think of a shady nook, or babbling brook, or both, in connection with the latest out door volume. Possibly, as you start out for a quiet day, you string together a bit of rhyme con cerning the book, as Leigh Hunt did and others have done since. It is a common practice to carry a book into the fields, but not a logical one. How can a book, even one of outdoor topics, compete with Nature? Certainly if Nature is to the reader but a convenient room, a lighter and more airy one than any at home, does it not sig nify a serious lack in the mind of that person?
