Riassunto

Excerpt from The Seer of Slabsides

This title, The Seer of Slabsides, does not quite fit John Burroughs - the Bur roughs I knew. He was a see-er. A lover of nature, he watched 'the ways of bird and beast; a lover of life, he thought out and wrought out a serene human philosophy that made himiteach er and interpreter of the simple and the near at hand rather than of such things as are hidden and far off. He was alto gether human; a poet, not a prophet; a great lover of the earth, of his portion of it in New York State, and of everything and everybody dwelling there with him.4 53m}; slabsides He has added volumes to the area of New York State,°and peopled them with immortal folk - little folk, bees, blue birds, speckled trout, and wild straw berries. He was chicfly concerned with living at Slabsides, or at Woodchuck Lodge, and with writing what he lived. He loved much, observed and inter preted much, speculated a little, but dreamed none at all. The Lover of Woodchuck Lodge I might have called him, rather than The Seer of Slabsides.
