The Clerk of the Woods (Dodo Press) Bradford Torrey

February is at least twice as long. For a month is like a movement of a symphony; and when we speak of the length of a piece of music we are not thinking of the number of notes in it, but of the time it takes to play them. May is a scherzo, and goes like the wind. Yesterday it was just beginning, and to-day it is almost done. ” Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Clerk of the Woods (Dodo Press) (Bradford Torrey)
