His portraits of them were so perfect, it was as if he could to see the sap flowing beneath their bark. When Thoreau wrote that the poet loves the pine tree as his own shadow in the air, he was speaking about himself. In short, he spoke their language. In this original book, Richard Higgins explores Thoreau's deep connections to trees: his keen perception of them, the joy they gave him, the poetry he saw in them, his philosophical view of them, and how they fed his soul. His lively essays show that trees were a thread connecting all parts of Thoreau's being--heart, mind and spirit. Included are one hundred excerpts from Thoreau's writing about trees, paired with sixty-eight of the author's photographs. Thoreau's words are as vivid now as they were in 1890, when an English naturalist wrote that he was unusually able to 'to preserve the flashing forest colors in unfading light.' Thoreau and the Language of Trees shows that Thoreau, with uncanny foresight, believed trees were essential to the preservation of the world"--Provided by publisher. 600 10 Thoreau, Henry David, |d1817-1862 |xCriticism and interpretation. |=^A29703 600 10 Thoreau, Henry David, |d1817-1862 |xKnowledge |xNatural history. |=^A29703 600 17 Thoreau, Henry David, |d1817-1862. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00029125 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 Trees in literature. |=^A226131 650 7 Natural history. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01034268 650 7 Trees in literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01156154 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 Richardson, Robert D., |d1934-2020 |ewriter of foreword. |=^A105778 949 |i30372016638865 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s24.95 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 4696381
