Synopsis

The Pageant of Summer is a book written by Richard Jefferies and published in 1901. It is a collection of essays and observations about the natural world during the summer season. Jefferies explores the beauty and wonder of the countryside, describing the flora and fauna in vivid detail. He writes about the changing landscape as the season progresses, from the first signs of spring to the full bloom of summer. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of summer, such as the sun, the sky, and the sea. Jefferies also reflects on the human experience of summer, discussing topics such as leisure, holidays, and the joys of being outdoors. The Pageant of Summer is a celebration of the natural world and a reminder of the importance of taking time to appreciate the beauty of the world around us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Green rushes, long and thick, standing up above the edge of the ditch, told the hour of the year as distinctly as the shadow on the dial the hour of the day. Green and thick and sappy to the touch, they felt like summer, soft and elastic, as if full of life, mere rushes though they were. On the fingers they left a green scent; rushes have a separate scent of green, so, too, have ferns, very different from that of grass or leaves. Rising from brown sheaths, the tall stems enlarged a little in the middle, like classical columns, and heavy with their sap and freshness, leaned against the hawthorn sprays. From the earth they had drawn its moisture, and made the ditch dry; some of the sweetness of the air had entered into their fibres, and the rushes—the common rushes—were full of beautiful summer.
